Statue
| /
_
Imagine if old Liberty fell
that bogus symbol in a
land of hell.
Nelson's pillar hit the
ground an English symbol
of hate profound.
By statutes empire nations
rule their statues there for
you to fool.
Beware of France and gifts
of copper because they too
soon will come a cropper.
Egality does not exist and
why the rioting must persist.
So not until this * torch is
doused can black and white
be considered spoused.
We know the feeling because
we were black and despite
being white we took some flak.
Unto my brothers while I can
write I'm with you in this
legitimate fight.
Stand ye now for G. Floyd's
glory stand ye now for an
equal call
Stand ye now and tell his
story by destroying that [Street]
where they built their [Wall].
