Do You See Me?

Hey, straighten your tie, and look in their eyes Now stand when you speak, formal words make you seem wise If you don't recall, make them believe that you know it all Look a certain way or they won't see you at all Bright young lives, potential ahead The tracks provide one way instead Pre-decided roles in a play If we're the future leaders then why don't we get a say Though you carefully code There's no hiding the bias in your stance I thought we traveled this road And yet we are back here again But I'll keep going And there's no dragging me down Am I threatening your chance of success That's why you obsess to suppress Watch and wait as wrongs are ignored The hero aches, the villain adored I don't want us repeating the past Keep this up and the peace won't last You say you're making it fair But you're just rating us personally I know you don't really care About true merit and our abilities But I'll keep going And there's no dragging me down Am I threatening your chance of success That's why you obsess to suppress But I'll keep going And there's no dragging me down Am I threatening your chance of success That's why you obsess to suppress Expect resistance And there's no dragging us down We deserve every chance of success So you shouldn't obsess to suppress
