I am a man no, I am a black man I walk these streets with a cursed mark upon my hands The white man trys told me in these restraints But I laugh, look him in the eyes and say
You don't control me This ain't slavery no more God granted me free will So who are you to question the gifts god give
It's funny really When you look at my kind all you see sin As if we're monsters created by satan But please keep thinking that way, it's only making us stronger
The thing is this is a new world A world were the swords between our races no longer need to be drawn But still you haven't given up Even after seeing what our kind can do
I admire that though It shows that you're strong But you see you're fighting the wrong war It's no longer this or that
Instead, it's can we survive Yesterday we fought each other to the death But today we need to fight side by side So that we can even see a tomorrow
Can't you understand that Yeah sure I'm black And so what you're white But this is not about that
Dr.Martin Luther King Jr. once said he had a dream And his dream was to see our kinds live in peace and harmony That one day the world won't see it as being black or white But instead see it as equal living beings
Have you ever thought he was right You're trying to wage war against us And we're simply trying to end it But I guess that is asking too much
So many have died trying to keep us separated But enough is enough What if it was your grandma, brother or sister Would you finally end it then
Why wait when it's too late Why **** anymore who don't deserve to die On both sides we have lost so much So let's compromise
We don't ask to be on top We just simply wanted to be treated as equals Because we were all born in this world survivors But what's the point of surviving just to walk into another fight
We're simply exhausted So please let's end it here Let's be friends And survive to see tomorrow
