Why Is It
Why is it that we are still suffering?
Hasn't society had enough.
They speak to us about life
They say In God We Shall Trust
How is it that we are still murdered in cold blood?
This country says we are FREE but they are against us
When some lawmakers break the laws we don't get JUSTICE
Some say go back to Africa
My Question why did you bring my ancestors here
To control them for your purpose
To instill hate and fear
To mentally deprogram us
To divide us in race
To emasculate our men and the women just rape
To torture the babies to use them for bait
To hang us from trees then tell my people to pray
Now when you see us
It's like we are a threat
A black man walking .. the new practice target for death
To watch our suffering and our pain
Then to say we are inhumane
The laws have not changed
Another black man killed same ole same
