Recognition

 

Open your ears and hear me,

Appreciate our soldiers and leaders

who fought to free their people in misery.

Hollering, crying and dying,

Our black leaders we see, gave us freedom

Listen and understand.

Don’t kill your own,

help build each other a home.

Dead bodies buried everyday

because we are blinded by our own mistakes.

Listen and understand.

God has given us a second chance!

to help our people grow,

not to bring us back to the pain we once received.

Understand that our leaders aren’t just leaders,

they are in fact unique.
