Black in America
Constantly working on proving their worth
But denied rights based on skin shade
Faced 400 years of slavery
Add 400 hundred more years

Black in America
demoralized belittled
Looked at as difficult riddles
brutally murdered by law enforcement Chocked, shot, slammed, denied access to minimum wages
Locked and preserved in cages
Given life terms and long sentences
Without ever writing a paragraph
Forced to live in ghettos
cold street raise cold killers
Institutionalized drug dealers  

Black in America
Living life to prove that their lives matter
Sad to see a people surfer just to prove their worth
Living in a cold earth
Numbing to human emotions
Black in America is scarier
than the war on terror
Reality is equality is just an illusion
Fighting for peace with no solution
