You Know Who We Are

You know who we are. We're with you everyday, We're from the ghettos, the project buildings the neighborhoods with low incomes You know who we are We're considered in society as the minority, yet we're the majority in poverty, the 16th president constituted abomination for the sins of those whose skin is pale, still we're slaves to an American economy, who blames our new generations for the contamination of the crack sale, You know who we are We're college graduates, we have High school degrees we're doctors, lawyers, sergeons and teachers we're diplomats, philosophers, ordained as preachers We're American, African players of Uncle Sam's past time concieved in the Nile, raised along the Potomac sold by our own, for collateral and material, we're the New World's history, workers of cotton gins, fighters for rights You know who we are *******, black, beautiful as the dawnless night
