Make A Change

For hundreds of years blacks have died by whips and chains

Its' 2013 and  blacks are still dying over whips and chains.

Our heroes fought to make a change

So why should'nt the new generation do the same

Why should we put our ownselves to shame

Maybe beacause we are the ones to blame

Thinking we can better ourselves by fortune and fame

Or thinking we can make a quick buck by shouting a crap game

We've wasted enough life by placing ourselves in gangs

Now its time to make history and try to reclaim.

I just want the pain to start ending

So it starts with me I am the beginning.
