You said I was guilty but you lied You say I am heartless yet I cry
You say I am evil yet I do good
you say you understand yet, I am still misunderstood
You say that we fell because we don’t try,
Yet, a discriminatory and oppressive system you don’t deny
You say that we are angry because we hate,
Yet, put chemicals in our water to seal our fate
You say we are trapped in a cycle and don’t want to read.
Yet and then all the books that can help set us free
You said that we kill each other for no reason
Yet, give us the guns and the bullets that feed them
You say that slavery is over and gone
Yet, yet the 13th Amendment is still healthy and strong
You say who the terrorist and put them on a list
Yet, so many names from the government you somehow miss
You say we are greedy because we want to survive
Yet, steal from the world in front of our eyes
You said what you will but never do you
Should be more like me and Less Like You!
