It’s as if History is repeating itself Whites are killing blacks and getting away with ****** Blacks who are innocent are being killed Because of the pigmentation of our skin Or what we didn’t do that they said we did We fought for Justice and equality and won once upon a time But how long did we expect that to last Now we are fighting back once again It’s as if History is repeating itself Who will hear our pleas for help, our pleas for justice The same people we look to to help us Are the one’s that are killing us Where can we run, where can we hide No one to save us, help us, or even shelter us from the blows And we’re suppose to be the country of freedom No we are the country That has given it’s people the freedom To move with the invisible shackles weighing us down So who do we turn to now We turn to each other in unity and love #RIPMIKEBROWN #NOJUSTICE

It's As If History Is Repeating Itself
Externally I'm smiling and I'm ok Internally I battling a hurricane of emotions I have nowhere to go nowhere to turn No one to trust to shelter me from the storm I'm crying out for help But the winds carry away my pleas I'm quickly losing control over the mess that is my life Someone, Anyone help me please Don't leave me broken into a million pieces Don't let Daddy break my heart again He left me then please don't you leave me now I thought he would stay with me But he had to save himself He said he would come back for me But he's still not back Help me figure out who I am Save me from this cruel, twisted world Save me before i drown in my own tears
