Wake Up!!!!!
Why we can’t be free
To explore all that this world has to offer to We
Instead we fight and bicker
Throwing daggers, knives in each other visions
Entrapping our hope, dreams in the blood stained noose
Hung on a tree that still bears NO FRUIT
Sister you don’t have to hate on ME
Brother you don’t have to beat ME
Together we are fighting for Equality
Together we are struggling to live THE KING DREAM
Not this racist fantasy that plagues us on our 60 inch screen
As spike said in school daze it is time to
wake up!!!!!!!!
Wake Up!!!!!!!
WAKE UP!!!!!!!
