The skin I have is dark And that's all most see I walk around with a mark That says I can never just be I feel like a different breed My freedom never guaranteed People are born different Their love may be unique Sadly some aren't considerate And treat them like a freak They think they're some **** My freedom never guaranteed I started with nothing Poverty knocking at my door If I were to wish for something It wouldn't be to have more But to never have to need My freedom never guarenteed All of this makes me different Yet it makes me who I am I'd rather a societal aberrant Than part of a program To be free is to concede So I'd rather be me than be freed

Freedom Is Not Guaranteed
The skin I have is dark And that's all most see I walk around with a mark That says I can never just be I feel like a different breed My freedom never guaranteed People are born different Their love may be unique Sadly some aren't considerate And treat them like a freak They think they're some **** My freedom never guaranteed I started with nothing Poverty knocking at my door If I were to wish for something It wouldn't be to have more But to never have to need My freedom never guarenteed All of this makes me different Yet it makes me who I am I'd rather a societal aberrant Than part of a program To be free is to concede So I'd rather be me than be freed
Tyree / Belle I've only dealt with race discrimination. Poverty and ****** discrimination are beyond me, so I hope I accurately represented them.
