Coveting the dream that has been melded into my mind
of a life less burdened and a life more kind
I've sat watching in the shadows as my education fell through cracks
the people who gave up on me, and the ones that gave up everything for me
you cant fight within a system that beats you down
you cant fight a battle that is all around
because though the revolutions starts with one
it takes many to rise, to create the tide
to make change like the leaders we read about on the page
years have gone by with little being done
watching each other in harmony, while killing each other in vain
places in our boxes, kept in the circle, told that our battles are won
Desiring a heritage that is not defined as "white" because
my skin color is not me!My clothes do not make me
who i am. I just want to be.
you cant fight within a system that beats you down
you cant fight a battle unknown
