Awake

Open Your Eyes

Skin Pigment

I see beyond the black and the white//

political hatred being justified as a right//

fixated views on our skin pigment alone//

no care for the child, woman, man or their own//

we turn face when hit then the other if must//

lay down our pride for our loved, our daughters and sons//

living in fear is chess playing a move//

orchestrated by tyrants who won't go back to the moon//

the corrupt oversee these shootings in sprees//

doctrinate our religions while accusing our belief//

the hatred runs deep it's rooted with ease//

allowing our children to be mocked and control the violence they see//

this is planned genocide of our people open your eyes//

do you still believe our history although it's a facade, you're living in lies//
