Bus By Dr Tharius Jezus Heaven

You can not force me to sit at the back of the bus!
I was born after the 1960's Civil Rights Movement.
My grandfather barreled through the Share Cropping Era.
I refuse the force of your Human Capitalism.
I will sit right here before these steps and rest my feet.
You can not force me to sit at the back of the bus!!
Take your handcuffs off by way of police brutality.
My great grandmother was born a free woman of color.
I refuse to sit at the back of the bus!!!
I did not ask you to run a gynecology on my bloodline.
Keep your cameras that force scandal off me.
Cause I refuse to sit at the back of the bus!
