A Hard Life

African Americans had a hard life, It wasn’t easy as cutting butter with a knife Every day and every night they couldn’t even fight for their rights The will just to be free, as free as a bird in the sky Flying high above the clouds, Just once, experiencing this feeling out loud Being enslaved for a long time And for a shame that they didn’t even get a dime Having your family taken away, But why oh, why did they have to pay? So thank god, for Harriet Tubman, Dr. King and all the other freedom fighters of equality who let freedom ring For all African Americans who had and still have a hard life
