My burden is too heavy to carry People of my race are dying One can't walk on the side of the road without having a bullet pierce through their melanin bodies Chocolate, Caramel, or brown sugar I can't accept the violence SUPPRESS THIS ISSUE ! I demand sacrifice to the wrong guidance 'Cause I can't sit and cry with a tissue preparing a eulogy for my blood brother and sister who've been shot by the minority I step foot on this ground and declare an apology Slave me not for I am a human THAT IS BLACK Can't you see the protests ? This is not a contest What happened to the freedom knot ? Equality and diversity? - I can't accept the current adversity Rights and responsibilities? - But black beings are bein exposed to vulnerability Rules and regulations? - I thought we had amalgamation World War III ? No ... I want us to be free
