Colored Folks


The law is so messed up that a person could kill a Child and walk free... Police so worried about drugs on the streets, But what about people killing innocent people.. The world is quickly fading away, can't you see! We need God in our life to be set free... Drug dealers get more time, while murders Roam the street freely! What does this mean for the system we call Justice! We're supposed to be the land of the Free, so let's come together and March for peace! As you can see being in the race of color is not Easy to even walk down the street... The way we dress make people nervous... The way we walk and talk make people assume We are thugs, when is it going to end? It starts with you and me.... Come together and demand respect, no need To kill each other.. You are just helping rid our own kind! Let's stand up and come together before we Have another Zimmerman Vs Martin! Pray before you lay and after you wake up! It's time we came together and stand for one Another, United we stand and divided we fall...
