Terms and conditions

Terms and conditions apply,
They create rules, for us to abide
Terms and conditions apply,
Made for a black person to survive
Terms and conditions apply,
For the most basic human rights

Terms and conditions,
Made only for our existence,
Not for protection,
But for the sake of our oppression,
To keep us under surveillance,
Monitored by a legal binding - 
To make sure we ‘behave’
And not break a contract,
Only their hands signed

Terms and conditions,
Used, to excuse their obsession,
With policing our every movement
Terms and conditions -
To legalise their racism
