Dear Society


Dear Society, I have a message for you: My culture makes me unique, perfect, sweet Bouncing back no matter how hard the hit Our past is pain proving a dangerous feat But our future is bright through hope and wit Chains unbroken lives begin, Our power comes from within Truth inspires music that tells a tragic story The future is bright with diplomas shinin’ Children aspire to be a living legacy But we are more likely to be on police reports when we killed The systems messed up Ghetto kids will never know how that, Justice seat feel They say I got got accepted not by my, grades but luck You think you know my story because you listen to trap But you'll never really know what it's like to be black Sincerely, Woke
