Teach the rich the truth
Tell the broke the lies
That's why private schools no Christopher Columbus took millions of lives
but the publics schools think he was the best thing to ever Arrive
you see how this system
from a young age manipulates
our lives
The people pulling the strings are smart
It's no coincidence series of
Unfortunate events that made this
The schools that need the most always lack
I know I wrote a poem about having kids
But I don't want none
Seeing from my parents how much you
Will love them
And you don't want anyone to take something
They need from them
I was always told subconsciously
I couldn't have none
The church told be happy with crumb
My father told me I couldn't go to the school that I wanted
Unless the football field got me there
It wasn't his fault
He just was always taught
That a black man cant excel in this life
With out a sport games
My people got back pains
From invisible chains
That were replaced but never erased
Just put in plane sight to
Make everyone think things are
Alright
we just want equality
The people pulling the strings are smart
Why you think unity is so hard
History taught
Harriet Tubman was a fugitive
Fredrick Douglas a criminal
MLK and Malcolm X were
Disobedient
Subconsciously telling us
That even the great leaders
Who stood up for what's right were
Wrong
I'm tired of singing this song
Equality
Don't tell me laziness
Created my poverty
Cause granny been working
Shoulda retired years ago
I think it's probably
Cause the system was created
Before any minority could debate it
Now we working to play catch up
As they leave us red as Heinz ketchup
Leave our cries unseen
Equality
You don't need a PH.D. To define this
Equality it shouldn't be this hard u see we want equality.
