Freedom: exemption from external
control.

are we free? where I live
it's rare to encounter one
who's skin shares no resemblance
with me.. If so he's protected by
a shield that grants him authority

Time has been granted
the assist to ending
slavery people they never
removed the chains they just
made them hard to
see..

schools equalized in
a sense that they welcome
you and me yet I've been
in four schools through twelve
years and my complexion stained
the flesh of ninety percent of those
who weren't qualified to teach  

are we free? Freedom of
choice now an ability
but what we're given
for choice rotates the
cycle that eats my
community

****** and sports
two of the easiest routes
to living successfully  so
they flood our streets
with what is needed to
build  the thought that
this skill came naturally

practice makes perfect
there's courts every
where your sights
can reach while drugs
were placed here as an
option which aided in
feeding and destroying
families, with drugs came
weapons defending what's
yours a necessity so we ****
then go to prison that's two
for the price of our standard
desire to feed

this story to common
in a rappers break down
of what he's seen, most
good at story telling so
they sell stories of surviving
such horrid scenes... through
media free of charge we continue
to purchase fraudulent dreams
only to mimic with hope
on living successfully  

as for athletes, naturally
we are prepared
physically, once were
good enough were promoted
to a higher level of
minority... Television and
money a platform that feeds
us clarity so our youth strives
to become worthy enough to
live on that expensive leash

this is just my
opinion my people
were never truly
freed some may have
made it past thee control
but never lived long enough
to guide our release

Still a slave
