#renassiance
I live in the spirit
of the Masters before me.
Harlem's finest
a social and artistic Renaissance
Prophets, poets and preachers
capturing moments for change
I read the words
I, Too, Dreams, Caged Bird
Where I once had tears
now all I have is rage
I write death songs
and hate has sunken in
America still isn't America for me.
America still lives in denial
America still silences
America still kills
I want to be free
I want to be free
To look upon my brothers
To look upon my sisters
Black, white or other
Rich, poor or other
Gay, straight or other
I'm indifferent, I only sing for love
So what should I do, this
is Not My America
America does not love me
My heart is heavy
but nothing will change.
