You'Re Not You'Re a Victim
complaints that they have no voice
historically silent now they holla
women gays and blacks make noise
their priority's to matter
age old mistreatment sorrows
they stand, they shout and many follow
equality for all tomorrows
some cry true most cry hollow
opinions form inside their heads
mine and yours find views too store
but with all if the truth be said
ism's form where not before
are we really so uneven
when 3 percent our nations black
seek a fairness breaking even
on a surface filled with cracks
cus I have been mistreated too
held back with no advance
maybe you have beaten you
the reason you have no chance
cus CV's sit in black and white
no gay preference there on show
qualification on show in sight
you, it's maker not to know
we put discriminations into isms
presuming prejudice low as low
I think we all live in this prison
of what we think not what we know
