Captivity
My people stalk and talk
Bear arms because they fear 2 c true equality
I cannot stare and dare to bear this captivity
I’ll shred and dread in this ignorance
But my race was once thought of as a significance
Kings and queens
Hollering about my race was just a misunderstood interference
Where we once roamed and spoke about no segregation
Guns and treason were brought back because we sought out to reason
But now I realize how unpeaceful this reality really is
My people stalk and talk
Bear arms because they fear 2 c true equality
4 I’d sacrifice my life
For the fascination of cultivating the lives and minds of my people
