Locked In a Cave
No destination locked in a cave of sick twisted racial hatred deprave
Some men wear costumes and some carry flags with crooked bent sticks tattooed on both sides
They hide behind words like white power white pride
They hide behind slogans that say certain lives matter
They hide behind words like black power black pride
Self righteous, sanctimonious, prejudice brides
They've married injustice and violence not pride
They pass to their children, no way to be saved
From no destination locked in a cave
Children are the future
Adults the past
so we all must be careful of what die we cast
