Surviving the Stuggle (Civil Rights)


Bitten, but not broken down Beaten so low to the ground Falling but never weak Standing for these rights, CIVIL we seek The days have passed where we will drink from different fountains For Our Rights? you can bet WE did climb mountains We fought past the spit. and fought through the tears We pray for the resilient that died over the years. To get us to a point where we are all equal Letting the world know, NEVER will there be a sequel Of the horror that we as a people had to endure The trials, the bloodshed, and much much more Civil Rights? We got that Going Back? Never that Civil we are. Rights we've earned Living out the dreams of our ancestors, we have learned.
