Against it all
A ceremony of hatred
Violation of human rights
Not an ounce of that good feeling
"Black Lives Matter"
A fight for a just cause
They say we free on paper, but you'd better watch ur back...
A quote on freedom
"A man is born free but everywhere he goes he's in chains"
A ceremony of hatred isn't it?
Parent 'scared' to walk the kids
Kids 'scared' to walk the streets
Streets 'scared' to walk the people
To feel safe for once
To feel safe from gun violence
On several occasions..
The world was grey
Our folks going to the other side too soon
Our brothers & sisters in tears
The air suffocates
Running towards chains
Racism ain't no joke
It pokes really hard
It puts a barricade on our children's future
Just to get beyond "colour"
Let's put a stop to it
To be 'Even' not 'Odd'
Enough is Enough
We running outta tears
We need to be tough to supress violence
To get that ounce of a good feeling
To be "Against it all"
To feel love for one another
In our mind, hearts, and on the streets..
A fight for a just cause...
We gotta love one another for a greater purpose... That's just the way its suppose to be... To be brothers and sisters
