The Whites and The So Called Blacks


Once united Now divided Forced to move For the greed of whites Stript of their pride Stript of their freedom Forced to leave their homes To live their lives as slaves All were seperated White men ruled the so called blacks Forced to live their lives in shame And hide in back from their pains The so called blacks couldn't fight They were told To stay in the back Back of the trains Where they belong While the white stay up top No one believed This was right All but the men in white They stript the blacks Of their freedom Forced to live their lives in seperation No more! The so called blacks cheered out They wished to be free Free from the invisible wall One at a time They fought back To no more regrets "Seperate but equal" One man spoke out He was their saviour of the so called blacks Here and now We stay united In rememberance of the ancestors that fought their hardest To become equal in this world We stay proud and tall Of who we are
