The Flight

Most people talk about me without seeing the things I seen or going through the thing I've been through Never seeing me only the image they despise of what they can't relate too Taking my stand never refusing to fight even though I'm not immune from pain Even with broken wings still trying to take flight Growing up in the projects has not stop my ability to keep moving forward With my last breath I will continue to speak against all forms of racism and hatred those that held me down your chains are broken The stars are my home the heavens is room beyond the sky is where I shall rest
