they come from far away
leaving behind everything they know
hoping everything will be okay
some packing nothing but a photo
There's a place where they can't stand our race
We're the only ones who are always getting chased
When we're in court they dont care about our case
They never understand why we can't look at them in their face
Don't pretend to sympathize when we can see the greed in your eyes.
You say one thing, turn around and say another.
All you speak is lies.
A child constantly arguing who is right he's never wrong.
With liberty and justice for all
On deaf ears these words seem to fall
No liberty for the poor no justice for the brown
Spilling oil on the reservations to avoid a white town
Dear White people,Your Cheeto man is in office;How does it feel?Isn’t it great?I mean, like oh my god!This country is yours;Congrats!
Our skin is not as white as snow
Does this make us worthless?
A lot of us grew up in single parent homes
Does this make us inadequate?
We commit the same crimes
But why do we only get the life sentences?
