Why do we walk with our heads held high? Why do we refuse to turn a blind eye to our dead brothers laying to the side Of the curve for being unjustly murdered for walking down the street To catch public transportation to a job to provide for his family and give them what they need
Why do we address the issues that arise from racism and hate? Why do we stomp hard to boycott our brothers and sisters falsely imprisoned behind those metal gates? Unapologetically black I guess that's why we're always under attack Ready to steal everything from us but refuse to acknowledge that fact
Blamed for the wrong doings of this world and the poverty of our communities In debt forever just to get a degree and still no equal opportunities Punished for the color of our skins like its a plague or some kind of sin White girl screaming **** just so a young brothers life can come to an end
They're above and below where can my people go Trying to fight back for our freedom just to receive a lethal blow Raising our black queens and kings to become more than just a statistic Refusing to see us come together hate to see us uplifted
White supremacists protected because of there right to speak It's a different day we refuse to embrace fear we refuse to accept defeat Blatant disrespect rally's full of hate and evil Trying to play our culture false support constantly deceitful
Our souls are unmatched our skin will not crack We stump with more rhythm our fist won't retract We know our pain we understand our odds are stacked It's a shame that's the price to pay for the greatness of being black
