Liberty

Now as we stand at the gate of the oppressor Who has treated us as if we were their lesser Although A few minorities do strive to their displeasure Yet many others struggle with every single measure They claim a black friend so they are not racist Hearts full of hate - unlearned when on what basis Live next door; see the the look on their pale faces Raging red, cause of action, violated spaces That's how they really feel so I wouldn't turn my back Maybe their neighbor should apologize for being black Black lives more than matter; time to uphold the fact Dark souls oppose; with a devil they made a pact White cops better heed this from here on in Judge not by the color of a man's skin We'll be forced to commit one of the seven sins Acts of wrath, contact his next a kin When will they let a man be - Be what that man needs to be That man deserves to be free - Give that grown ass man his real liberty When will they let a man be - Be what that man needs to be That man deserves to be free - Give that grown ass man his real liberty Frustration mounts - can't take much more No man really has desire for a race war Yet it seems that's exactly what we're headed for Manifesting vengeance to settle score Violence will become more brutal As Peaceful protest proves to be futile For far too long we have been too docile Revolutionary change colossal Such, the whole nation will be burning Smoke arising, rivers churning Recognition through lessons learning Retribution - peril spurning Pressing forward like an iron horse Make them our slaves with a vehement force There and then will they have remorse There and then will they have remorse When will they let a man be - Be what that man needs to be That man deserves to be free - Give that grown ass man his real liberty
