Listen
They enclose us into one community
And as always we are kept in a jungle
Treated like animal
The community zoo
Where every stereotypical person watches
They throw peanuts at us
Then laugh
But the funny thing is we accepted without protest
Listen
We come from a long bloodline of beautiful kings and queens
Their skin dark, radiant as the glittering moon
We were the Lions of the earth
And yet we don't appreciate our skin
We want to trade it for snow
Snow that makes you freeze to death and laughs at your death for the hell of it
Don't we as a people care about our pride as blacks
Listen
Don't you hear the alarm clock ringing
Telling you to wake up
War is happening between each other because we don't know our history
Instead of fighting against each other we should stand together
United we stand divided we fall
Listen
I am here to educate you for the false history that was taught
Re-educate you about your bloodline
How when you are educated
They fear you
Not a black person being a monkey
We need them to get you to a better place in life
Not behind bars
I need you to Listen
