I used to know you, You used to know me, I was told to hold you higher. You were told I pushed you down.
I am a Slave Owner, That must make you my slave, Or so I am told. Or so you are told.
I am entitled and in charge, You are oppressed and left to discard, Or so you tell me. Or so I tell you.
I may speak freely, You may only speak with permission, So why must I bite my tongue? So why do you shout at my sons?
When I go left I am a hero, a champion. When you go right you are a trader to your kin. You tell me I hate. They tell you to hate.
I want to know you as I have before. You say you know enough. My canvas is blank, you've taken my brush. I say the portrait you paint is unfamiliar to me.
