See I pray for my people

I know they wanna take the gift of life away from my people

See they only wanna see my people down in the ground , shot or in chains

Now somebody tell me this is not a shame

Langston said I am too America

What is America to me ?

See you don't call a place home when where every corner i turn r somebody is  trying to kill me

For my brown skin

For my existence

For my perseverance

Who else you know made it 400 years in slavery ?

I dare you to try and sit here and tell me my people don't represent bravery

We are the definition of the strength

Jim Crow didn't stop us

Robert E  lee didn't stop us

400 years in Slavery didn't stop us

lynching didn't stop us

Being attacked  by dogs didn't stop us

The clan didn't stop us

Segregation didn't stop us

Beatings didn't stop us

So what makes you think Trump will ?

We have been raped, spit on and beaten black and blue verbally and physically abused

  Now  America, I dare you to tell me that doesn't sound like strength to you ?

We shall overcome one day

Deep down in my heart I do believe

That we shall overcome one day

Now I don't know when it will be

I know that we have not overcome injustice

We have not completely  over came slavery

The only thing that was changed was the physical chains

You are still a Slave

I am still a slave

To what ?

We are Slaves to a system that we constantly say is broken when it was never fixed for us

We are slaves to the brands on our body

we die for these brands on our body like Jesse Williams once said

"I remember a time when we died with brands on our bodies"

Some of us are slaves to national organizations

Slaves to team owners

Slaves to a flag that's supposed to represent the United States when I definitely  know I live in the divided states of america

I live in ruckus

I live In 2020 where a lot of people  just look at your skin color

   as if that's the only thing  they need to know who you are and what you will be

See !
