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
