What’s Killing Us?
History has been killing us
 Americans killed the indigenous
 And invaded African Villages
 Forcing us to immigrate
 At times our alleged protectors
 Brutalize us just to demonstrate
 Detectives lock the wrong man up
 After they spend time to investigate
 Thinking pain and tears will evaporate
 By throwing money up to compensate
 Not realizing the ethical barriers
 They don’t cease to penetrate
 
 Over the years of our enslavement 
 Shackles have turned to cuffs
 Prisoners on a ship turned into
 Ones that ride on a bus
 Four hundred years have passed
 And we still have no luck
 Our people show each other no love
 So who else will give a huff?
 
 This country’s slogan is “In God We Trust”
 But if there is a God out there
 Why do my people suffer so much?
 Hurricane Katrina and earthquakes in Haiti
 Malnourished Africans dying from sickness
 On a daily in this modern day life of slavery
 Prisons and ghetto’s occupied by black natives
 Welfare and prejudice play a part in black nature
 To achieve status in society we endure tedious labor
 But the ignorance of our past is a fault that is greater
 Whoever speaks up for us is killed, imprisoned or tasered
 
 As soon as our leaders show us the big picture
 The government intermixes in the mixture
 By stalking, attacking, blackmailing them 
 Or finding reasons to hit them with wristers
 
 All I am saying is we are in enslavement
 To the government paid men
 You can’t fight fire power with no fire
 Unless you want to end in a casket
 Or live with metal parts or through the wire
 I’m sick and baggy eyed tired of the these liars
 That divide us, it makes me want to throw riots
 If you agree with my opinion on the higher power
 Then put your hands to the sky so they reach sky birds
