Reality Told

As hard as you try to hide 
reality
The truth is told
The truth is lived
Don't look amazed
Don't make up excuses
We are divided
Unity is professed 
But you killed
You have killed
No punishment 
Bringing drugs into our 
communities 
But it is us that reap the 
consequences
We cry out because we are 
poor
Fighting for more
Separated by railroad tracks
Living in ghettos 
The veil is torn
Truth will be told
