Our Turn Now

I am a part of the minority

Fighting to be heard by the majority

Why?

Cause we have been whipped into complacency

With promises and hopes of equality

Integrity, freedom, honesty in our society

Cause we put a black man in the presidential seat?

Feeding us the bull shit in the form of the American Dream

Like attaining the dream is far easier than it seems

Telling us "Me and You we're the same you see

Now lay your lives on the line for our greed

For the land of the free

Continue to fight for the country that disowns you with ease

And continues to treat you like a disease"

And day by day by day

We sit and we watch and we pray

and hope that God will show us the way

As we let society turn us back into slaves

And when we're done playing their games

We lay silently in our graves, no delay

While our families arrange arrays of flower bouquets

No one wants to call the foul play, so

We fall prey as they wine and dine on the lives we offer like a buffet

But me personally?

I'm tired of being tired

Like I'm letting the world opress my success

I'll never be a part of the system that tries to make me a statistic

and throw me away with no resistance

Guarateeing there is no freedom for our well being

Insisting we'll meet the bare minimum of life if they lead us

But I'm fed up!

I'm fed up of shutting up

While my brother's get locked up

And my sister's get knocked up

And we fall into a cycle of misery

Where the concept of a family

Is only on TV

I'm ready to step up

And empower my people to their right to pursue hapiness

and not be stuck in bitterness

I'm ready to wage war!

To finally hear the roar of a people's anger and frustration and pain

We will never let up

We will never bow down

It's OUR TURN NOW
