Victim Who?


Victim who, victim me ..victim you Does my head up no fear insight, just that My posture or truthful words ,eye contact in fact Victim who ...cause my skin is black No nonsense in this pretense Revolution in the 21 century prefix Victim who...I'll stand for facts Moving to educate the minds of the people Who were punished with scars on there backs, For doing just that, Applied knowledge is power My brothers and sisters Waste not a minute or hour, Unsightly entangled bondage, after a 400 years Pay homage, Clean water , clean clothes, No this is a enslavement not everyone knows, Victim who,..victim me..victim you How do I keep my self sane, knowing these chains Obstacles of everyday statistics and pain I smile..I Cry too..yeah I know .. dont wear my heart on my sleeve..cant let that show Victim who..victim me..victim you I can improve me..that's true I still love my people from these viens ..my blood dont run blue Embracing my thick featured lips and hair From a ancestor I never knew A tribe lost as I close my eyes I feel the heat of the mother land, The smell of the tribe, my heart rate increases Nothing but courage inside, the warriors unleashed They come and go as they please, then I realize. Open my eyes.
