You Dont Know
You don't know what its like
To live in this world alone
You don't know what it feels like
To have no love at home
Or to be looked at as nothing more
Than what people expect to see
You don't know what it feels like
To be me
To live in my world
Where my people do crimes
Because the system lies
Our true ability will never shine
We're a people that will never grow
We kill ourselves
Instead of seeing what could be accomplished
With a little ""soul""
This nations not to blame
We're the ones keeping us in shame
