I'm trapped in sun scourged skin Fighting to get out. Screaming for benevolence Confound by the phobia of my appearance Struggle for success should I be a street opportunist Sale dope like my Dad did Walk the line between life and death can you believe my dads dead A walking stereotype and be what there assuming You ever try to swing at a fast ball disguised as an underhanded pitch Swing and miss pain sets in I'm bleeding in hopes of true equality You see my people were still in chains Deaf to the freedom bells Colonials were children of a country Battles fought for freedom released from there parents reign My ancestors were stripped from soil dragged across the sea To new plains force to be slaves Some my view this as tasteless and lame But it’s the truth Asphalt skinned products working in fields barefoot no timberland boots I send prays up and salutes out to the troops Cause if we switched shoes I’m not sure if I would do it for you Cause I don’t see innocent faces I see innocence taken Cops are cruel cults cause communities to be complacent Conditioned to be racist A people treated like Jesus stripped naked A people where knowledge use to be sacred Now money driven like I never made it to my graduation But you see this money I’m making I am caking Cards of independence An illusion it’s really assistance Do we know that its fraud To trade money for independence cards Taking tax money doesn't erase the odds Liberty by the hands of man is flawed I was formed in this soil pushed out of America's womb planted my feet from birth Kiss with this dying flesh destined to be treated like dirt America a false independence since its start You will only find freedom in the face of God Pursing him with a passionately postured heart Angels sing when we say yes Independence in Christ he paid for our freedom with his flesh Despite all the political jargon Screaming and freedom marching Gods independence is like stars and space its infinite Earthly independence in all its splendor compared to that is limited Latching to this life's liberty is like licking a limp liquored in leprosy A detriment is a understatement Put more hope in a representative than Christ . below the mason dixon an under states men. Wars get fought for freedom Bodies stack up for freedom Money gets spend for freedom How does peace gets forsaken for the sake of freedom A fable is still a lie.. I wonder if animals in a preserve can recognize that they not in the wild Gates open and chains broken when aligned with Christ in his Kingdom
