You told us that“Dark is wrong”
In your society i dont belong
But my legacy isnt only dark its strong
I come from the first of many
From a tuskegee airman
Bet you wont even know who they are
The first black men ALLOWED
To fly that far
My grandmother was a principal
Smartest woman i knew
“Love everyone white black blue
But what ever you do dont let them hurt your heart
Without building your story making you new”
She held me in her arms taught me to be strong
So i know this is where i belong
They think is doesnt matter anymore
Weve all “forgot”
You ate us enslaved us left us to rot
And why are you so scared of the word you made it yourself
But still you love it like a trophy
Hell you put it on a shelf
You know you only think of yourself
Im glad he died i hope he does too
This “fascism and racism” was never new
So yes its your fault if you don't acknowledge it at all
This hatred will continue and america will fall
