All these years of history
Shouldn't be wiped away so easily
Everything isn't so easy breezy
Because we all know those slave masters were extra sleazy
Locked in chains
Present day handcuffs
Life of the darker pigmented is rough
Odds stacked against us
The system working against us
Middle class working 25/8
Seems like it isn't enough
But we have to do our part
It's partially our fault
We control our own destination
So we can make our Reservations
To the white house
Black President
Still we still don't get the respect we deserve
But it's not given its earned
Oppressors tried to burn our history
So learn about who you are
Get into your history, because when you don't
You become a mystery
Black, Asian, Hispanic, Pacific Islander, White
I'm speaking to the masses, know who you are
Before you turn see through just like some Malcolm X glasses
