Civil Rights, an act of liberation
when all we see is discrimination,
Mistreatment is all around,
Segregation keeps us bond
If you was brown, come on ‘round
If you was black, get the hell back,
If you was white, have a good night
Keep in touch, you’ll be all right
My gramps and a man was workin' side by side,
Now, this is what I meant by and by
They was payin' him a dollar an hour,
And they was payin' gramps fifty cent, no power
Segregation towards people at most
Lynching and Pain from coast to coast,
Killing just because of the colour of skin
Creating the most ultimate sin.
We are equal someone once said,
but now the so called equals have gone off and fled,
if all of us are equal then why do we fight
Beating disrespect all day and night
No one deserves what have they done
We fight them and think the battle is won
Let`s stop the death, the disrespect, it all
for if we don`t this world surely will fall
