I Call It Life
Chains bonding my footprints in Hawian sands
Bombed and Burned dreams of colors united harmoniously
Computer Classroom size Chambers filled with gas
I imagine what a life
If to abolish wasn't key
Consistent retention
From 1537
To present times
As we meet
Yesterday I felt locked done
Your empathy set me free
Now if we can only pass a law
Find the biggest stone
Engrave in it to read:
We are here for the land
Not the land for them you and me
Abolishment
How could I forget
Without
I will forever remember
The fire blazing pyramid
Corporate structure
Economic progression
Promotions 401k healthcare
Registered to vote
And now living is fair
Oh contrary
The insect raid
Is for us to never see
Abolish a systematic programming
Of my mind and release my body
If slavery didn't exist
Neither would abolishment
Neither would our nations chain of command
When theres things I can not understand
I call it life!
