What Burden
I sing because I'm happy, I sing because I'm free Because the burden of slavery is no longer on me I've seen the thunder and the rain But like a plant outside, only growth I've gained Stopped by the police, he just wanted to see What a black man was doing in a Grand Marquis Was reaching for my insurance, he said it was a gun Just a book about black man's struggle he had overcome But see, he thought I was scared and wanted to hide But I sat in my driver's seat with all of my pride He couldn't get me mentally, so he drove away Yeah I' black, and my car came from a mom who would pray See these statistics say black males just fight, kill and fail Do a poll on me, guarantee you'll change ideals of a black male See you think my emotions are bursting at the seams But I'm not an idealist, I'm a realist with dreams My intelligence is leaving you scared, putting you in fear Yeah I said it, didn't Tyson your ear so I know you could hear The past is the past, back then they'd have to fight But I don't have to cause I was born with rights America loves to call black dads deadbeats But can't acknowledge the ones finding their kids food to eat My black mama did it on her own and never had to steal And made sure me and my sister always had a meal The first male in my family to go to college for a degree Yeah look passed the nappy hair and beard before analyzing me Been passing racial slurs generation to generation, it's time for an interference Cause I'm not a colored man, I'm a man with a different appearance Yeah Dr. King fought for me and other blacks But he's gone now, so I don't need his actions on my back Don't read me wrong, I'm thankful for what he did But integration is wide open and segregation has a closed lid These old racists need to go and plead the fifth So that future kids can see racism as just a myth Let this grudge end and just live your life Cause you're only stabbing the Constitution with a knife Thank you for the slurs, lynchings and KKK Cause now you're all too tired to block the future so get out of our way My father in heaven made me, so I was meant to black He instilled wisdom in me, while you're intelligence slacks So please tell me what burden do I have to bear Success is my future and now you're in a scare My light beams bright as the sun, you're unlit Struggles are done, I'm hear to stay so deal with it http://soundcloud.com/abraham-t-shaw/what-burden
