Why do they fear us?
kill us
When all we want
Is a way to live another day
Just do what \"they\" say
As we bleed red
Sometimes lying dead
Never taken into account
The benefit of the doubt
Innocent till proven guilty
Hands up!
Why do they fear us?
Turn around and want to be us
Appropriate... us
Take our namesake
For goodness\' sake
Always ready to debate
HIStory
Cannot relate
To our pain
The burden
Being unseen
Jury of our \"peers\"
Listen with deaf ears
Why do they fear us?
The beginning of the end
Racism
Opening your heart
Is a good place to start
