What It's Like To Be a Descendant of a Slave
Born from a generation of mighty men
Conceived in love, raise by a queen
Driven from our home land
Force to work deprived of knowledge,
Beaten to a pulp, slaves all are we
Misunderstood taken for granted
Abused and used, our history hidden
A nation forgotten, people lost and confused
Strife and war, drugs and guns
Handed to us too start our own bloody war.
Death and fear sits at our door
Our mothers can’t take anymore as our corps lay still on the floor.
