LAND OF THE ENSLAVED BECAUSE OF THE BRAVE
CHANGE IS NECESSARY

What makes living here so great again?
If you ask me I never really could understand.
Land of the FREE because of the BRAVE,
tell me how since my people are still enslaved.
Controlled by fear from the unknown we stand clear,
just to jump with joy when our 30cent raise is near.
Yes the white mans got us, he's got us good,
causing our youth to catch a lesson from the hood.
Our woman are released with a muzzle on their mouth,
they proved my point with that new law down south.
They say their actions are for the greater good,
we cant relate because good has never seen my hood.
Im coming to you BOLD, as BOLD as I can be,
so I can live a life that starts with me.
They think they're great, or how ever that saying goes.
they're so called brave acts, nobody knows.
Yeah they're brave for all the pain the've caused,
but we're so incompetent to whats at large.
We see only with our eyes and believe with our hearts,
then we wonder why we have to hide all these scars.
Like I said land of the ENSLAVED because of the brave,
we know their must be change but we're too afraid.
IM NOT AFRAID!
Jay Z said it best ," ..... Grandma Im Not Their Slave!"
Im a human being,
Im here with a purpose and a meaning.
20 and Im woke
tryna figure how we making them richer and we broke.
Generational Curse my ass!
Its been like this and it always has.
In a country that loves guns, money, and sex
They'll sell your ass if they could wanna bet ?
This some shit I had to get off my chest,
have me waking up everyday asking, whats next?
In Atlanta thinking this is as good as it gets,
come to find out Im a pawn in a game of chess.
Everybody worried about who's next and what song,
when Im making sure life won't be like this for long.
They want us to listen and do as they say,
then we're criticized by our own when we look another way.
Young black man I want you to look the other way,
for your family's sake.
Grandma always spoke of Gods Grace,
Keep praying you two will make a way
All this nonsense about our rights,
when something always come up like it isn't right.
Funny how those rights seem to bend,
when my brothers are on the other end.
Yet we still stick to the things we always do,
Knowledge is Power you didn't have a clue.
Or a cheat sheet or skip the line pass,
and you wondering why you always last.
Its because we're stuck in the past.
This shits got to change, and CHANGE FAST!
