Train to Freedom
I'm being lead to the ocean
The ocean of love and passion
Where mom sits laughing and bashing
All the bad grades I've made and outlasted
Mom why do my feet stay?
Why are my limbs stiff?
Can I be free?
What is holding me back?
Is it because I am black
Colored eyes see the color
And Colored eyes are the eyes of a fool
Rich in courage, but small in heart
Fast in resources, but slow in life.
Awaken, I did and now I am free from the shackles that held me
I run with a since of purpose
slapping the face of them that derail my conscious
Breaking the barriers that has held my mind captive.
I am free my brothers!
I am free!!!
