Blue skies, sun of gold,
But the world is forever cold.
Brown skin that always gets mistreated with disgrace.
Young men dropped dead on their face.
Knowing my ancestors were beaten till they were free.
Not able to read or write.
Now we smarter than they will ever be.
Black president, black judge, nurses, doctors and entrepreneurs.
Tell me what do you see, I see a believer to be.
Let the white man know you have a gift too.
Yes, we was separated but they came out dumber than you!
Now the game is on you,
Setting plenty examples for each child to see.
My Queen and My King should be a addressed when walking in a room.
Hearts of love should be the only red we see!
Marching just like Dr.King did for you, grandma and me.
Screaming to the cops as they continue to beat us brutally.
As I look out to see my brothers, cousins, sister.
We are meant to fight for our color proud with integrity!
