They label us

Violent

Ignorant

Prideful

Useless

Have thy forgotten our people built this country.

Tilled this land

Broke their backs for nothing

Years later we still strive for what they sung, prayed, and wished for

Equality

For all men no matter what color

No matter what religion

Can stand and see

That we're all brothers and sisters

We all bleed the same blood

And cry the same tears

But our color blinds them from what could be

Instead they kill our children in the hopes of weakening us.

Gun down the innocent

While the real evil pulls the trigger

In hushed breathes they speak the truth

But in booming voices they promote lies

When will it end?

The oppression that no one wants to see

The unspoken tension they feel when they see us

In ones

Twos

Threes

They hide the fact that they fear us not because of who we are

But what we've overcome

We strive for better and they knock us down with worse

But the difference between us and them

We always find our way back to our feet
