The foundation of power

The absurdity of the lies you convince yourself of The lies that we are the problem and your not But your envy betrays you The one thing that you want But can't have Our blackness Your colonisation skills have failed you After all its the one thing you can't take from us You're so full of hatred You erupt like a volcano Except its hatred you spill Trying to burn of our skin It's why you try so hard to instill Inferiority in us Something you have always felt within Don't force your insecurities onto us We are not placeholders For your hurt egos We will not carry the weight of your burdens We are not your slaves It's why you feel threatened When we stand up for ourselves Because you don't have us to parent you To be slaves to your supposed superiority Because deep down you feel inferior to us And even deeper down you see us a superior Because no matter what you throw at us We end up victorious Because we will never back down And that is our power
