We need it now more then ever
Plagued we are
I look out my window and see the fear walking my people like dogs
Smiling
So fat from the constant food we supply them
our spirits so frail and week from lack of
They party all night
There's pit fights to the death staring our courage
Our pride is ****** around
Our love is given the life sentence
Our hope is beaten down if it shows any sign of Positivity
Our faith is tortured
Lincoln you have failed
Slavery is not dead
Why couldn't you address this too
Im scared to dance how I want whenever I want
I'm scared to speak my mind
Scared to share my dreams god forbid I even try to live them out
I'm afraid people won't like it
Scared you won't love me any more
Our relationship will end
Our laughs won't be the same
The unknown is always bad to me
No that's not how it's supposed to be
Revolt in your mind
Riot in your heart
Rampage in your soul
We shall show fear who has put it in its position of power
With the endless power we have
