I am not free

November 5, 2018

We are free but our shackles are still on

You say you want peace but look what's going on

I can't sleep hearing the news

Wonder if it's going to be my friend

Will I make it to my wedding

Or will I end up dead

I'm afraid to tie my shoe around a cop

My hands need to be seen

Can you see me
