Strive

Civil Rights, an act of liberation when all we see is discrimination, Mistreatment is all around, Segregation keeps us bond If you was brown, come on ‘round If you was black, get the hell back, If you was white, have a good night Keep in touch, you’ll be all right My gramps and a man was workin' side by side, Now, this is what I meant by and by They was payin' him a dollar an hour, And they was payin' gramps fifty cent, no power Segregation towards people at most Lynching and Pain from coast to coast, Killing just because of the colour of skin Creating the most ultimate sin. We are equal someone once said, but now the so called equals have gone off and fled, if all of us are equal then why do we fight Beating disrespect all day and night No one deserves what have they done We fight them and think the battle is won Let`s stop the death, the disrespect, it all for if we don`t this world surely will fall
