Freedom

Freedom

We thought we were free
Born that way we were told.
Free from being beat, bought, borrowed, and sold.
We thought we were free
To think and be anything we can.
Freedom was different for us the black man.
We thought we were free
From hangings, slavery, and working the fields.
We don't pick cotton, tobacco,  or crops to pay bills.
We thought we were free
We work for minimum $3 dollars the wage.
Called boy and , but we control our rage.
We thought we were free
Equal that's what we said
MLK must have bumped his head.
We thought we were free 
Free at last! We praise that speech.
Having no idea of the truth.
We only know what they teach.

They say

They say they love you,
But don't even want to try. 
They say they love you,
But forget you when you die.
They say they love you,
But actions don't say the same.
They say they love you.
Get in their feelings and play the blame.
They say they love you,
But that's not a matter of fact.
They say they love you.
When you want them, where they at?
They say they love you.
If you faithful and don't cheat.
They say they love you.
Yet, you lonely in the sheets.
They say they love you.
Then find it's you against the world.
They say they love you,
Believe your momma not a girl.
