Dear America

Dear America, My voice Has been silenced By your violence My story Has been stolen My blood Has been splattered My existence Has been a lie My skin Has been a crippler America You abuse me America You were not made for me But I don't care My skin is not a curse My skin is not 'ratchet' Or 'ghetto' Or 'thuggish' My people are not animals We are kings and queens Who have been fooled by forbidden trees We are pieces of gods and goddesses My people are honey, melanin, and God We are ancestral tribes and warrior markings Dear America, My voice will not be shut out I am banging on your door and you will not You can not turn your back this time Dear America, You don't own me Dear America, You have lied to my people You have misled my people America You overestimate yourself You fool yourself Dear america You drew the needle Piercing my skin Drawing the blood Just to do it again On the other side Another experiment Filling me with vaccines A hidden genocide You  fill us all with poisons Telling us it's medicine More lies You don't care you like the cries That fall from the mother for her black son who is dead The cries from a sister who has to see her mother die Then you wonder why Why we do sit ins And protests Then when they don't work we purge So filled with rage My rage is not a 'riot' This is no longer a debate Its a systematical error That will not change It will not change because the people that are sent to protect us are killing us and taking our voices They are white wearing blue killing us off to see if we bleed red too But the funny thing is they work for you My skin is not an automatic charge Dear America, You do not accept me For you are society For you are America The land of the free The land of the free But you are the ones who put chains on me Yet you said free is what I could be So I came to you expecting a warm embrace Not knowing that my embrace would be a bullet through me When I raised hands like the cop said, so he could search me The embrace to me would be the messed up reality that I could never be free The warm embrace is something I'll never see And that idea is slowly suffocating me But I am not wat you want me to be I am the voice of the black people unheard I am the black bird with Wings And I will be free Dear America, The hate u give will be the death of you Dear America, My voice shall no longer be silenced My mind shall no longer be in slavery My body shall no longer be a host Dear America, I will rise And my people will be with me
