I remember when i was young how i used to cling to my mother
How everything my older siblings said was automatically true
I was naive and thought everyone was my friend
But then i grew up!
Everything was suddenly a lie
It was as if my rose colored classes had suddenly disappeared and i saw the world for what it was
The pain and suffering i had lived through and had no idea
I now knew i could no longer live this way
I could not become another statistic of my race or of my neighborhood
I would be the one to help my people and lift them up
Be the voice of the unheard and unspoken
So i write, I write for all to see
Somebody anybody please set us free
