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

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

— The End —
