I thought I only would have read about this in my history books
I really thought that the past liberators buried all of the crooks
I thought this time was past and ancient
Yet I see on the news, that this disease is alive and blatant
Battles have been won, but the war has only just begun
I see my brothers and sisters band together
To stop this stormy, white grey weather of
Oppression, depression and their succession
Into the minds of their hosts, that hold such powerful posts of
Anarchy
I can’t breathe
I can’t breathe
I can’t breathe
Yet, the knee remained
and now his cries echo out forever in our hearts
An unarmed black man
For this we must take a stand
Together.
For this is an injustice-festered land
Countless others have fallen from this systemic maniac of a
country
Tell me
How am I supposed to live out my life in this country
As a person of colour?
The land of the free they say
Ha!
It is printed in their self-righteous decree
But, I am not deemed as free
Unless I surrender myself to their unjust cruelty
I cannot bend my knee for my people
I will be shot for my right evil
Problematic
Systemic
Death and destruction of an entire nation over 200 years ago
My heart grieves for the ancients that used to live in the Congo
West Coast, Gold Coast
The Motherland
We will revolt
We will take a stand
We are going to fight
For this thing that is right
In the land of the free
That thing which is called freedom
And which every man, woman and child
Has an undisputed right
