our nation

They are scared, they fear, they suppress my uniform They demoralize my people because of what we represent Just because of the way we communicate, look, and express ourselves We were forced to live in the shade because of our thoughts I didn’t ask to be born into a black, white, brown uniform I just chose to fight inside of one We have been placed in a nation of scavengers Beating me, struggling against the odds to represent who I am They have misjudged me They want me to live in fear, because they fear who we are when united United we stand greater, because numbers are power But our actions will prove them wrong, no matter how long it takes I’ll die trying to be equal just like them
