Modern day versions of lynching

They kept finding different ways to lynch us Oh we're still spectacles They just watch from their smartphones Watching as we struggle Watching us be tackled They don't see us as victims Just waiting for a pundit To say we deserve it Let's not forget about the 13th ammendment Instead of being slaves they just entered our names in the system As an excuse to reduce us to numbers Instead of being slaves we were just labelled as criminals Technically 'slavery' was abolished So instead of being whipped We were punished With imprisonment They just found a loophole A different form of control Don't get me started on the education system A place where our history is hidden A place of division And preferential treatment Of a certain race of students They do it just enough To remind us of our place in this institution A constant reminder of how we will never fit in All because our skin which triggers their racism If you think racism has ended Then you're choosing ignorance You need to be educated But us black people won't do it
