Let’s forge a new road
From the past of where we’ve been
A reality where all are welcomed in
We must not forget all that came before
Voices call out to warn us of trials in store
At times knowledge can fail on many levels
Just like the mindset of the crabs in a barrel
Momentum is the pendulum as your picking up steam
Doubt rises to derail your hopes and dreams
Putting your faith in another human being
You are devastated at their lack of seeing
Some climb up and you find that it’s true
Their assent was made by standing on you
Count your blessings know the score never forget what came before
Slaves,legends,captain and kings our history is filled with many things
Young or old our contributions are a apart of the nation’s soul
Two wrongs don’t make right bring truth into the light
You and your brother draw a line in the sand
At the end of the day a house divided can not stand
Rise up, rise up let’s not wait don’t let our legacy be made of rhetoric and hate
Truth reveal’s that which lies in store all the while don’t lose sight of what came before
