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
