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
