Supremacy is just insecurity projected

Supremacy is an illusion dressed in white
An itch for power, the motive they signed
All to cover up the truth of their crimes
A picture painted in the delusion of supposed superiority
Perspective is how they control the story
Their reputation depends on pretty white lies
Manipulated into unsuspecting neat bow ties
The end goal - for no one to ask why

Our lives they used, as bait they abused 
We, the victims of prejudiced news
White becomes the picture of innocence 
Black becomes the sworn enemy
Propaganda sways the unaffected 
Privilege somehow becomes the victim
A hateful world breeds this symptom
An empire built on our enslavement -
To which they defend, by giving us the arc of the villain

Unwilling participants to a system corrupted
Yet, if we were to complain chaos would have erupted
The oppressed just wants their peace - uninterrupted 
Law works in favour of the oppressor
The courtroom cares not for a truthful verdict,
Always siding with their creator, the real criminal
We never had a chance, they own ‘justice’
Shackled by the arms of a vicious system
Made to bite the head of the real victims 

Will the white man change with their narcissism 
Or will their insecurity control the direction
The hate they have, is the greatness we own
The stones they throw is the projection they hate to home
