Stolen

Stolen

Where is the answer in all of this?

White Amerikkka choking

On stolen bliss

Black America fighting

Just to be free

White Americans

Take time to refuse to see

Liberty and Justice

Never been for all

We were created equal

Then came the fall

Colonialism needed

Power to thrive

Stole the peace of living

From every Black life

Winding up for something

What will come next?

How many peaceful protests

Got no respect?

White man resting

On a Black Man’s neck

What type of values

Does this system protect?

Rising up the anger

Rising up the lies

White man’s knowledge

Has never been right

Sifting through the facts

Makes it hard to decide

What pathway to peace

Can we embark on tonight?

Strategic miseducation

Of an entire population

Distracting a nation

They got them chasin’ sensation

So, they miss all the truth

Right in front of their faces

Sit in their comfiest chairs

And yet they feelin’ complacent

They only see the anger

Not the lives that were taken

They witness the system

And would never trade places

Whispering hatred

Inside of their bones

They don’t know how to leave

Racism alone

They act like they’re better

Because they aren’t out in the streets

But they’re missin’ the point

Try escapin’ the heat

Judgment is coming

It cannot be escaped

Babylon is America

And the whore must pay

Playing with fire

And you’re bound to get burned

Read in between the pages

And you’re bound to learn

The victor tells the story

It rarely ever is fact

So, take American history

And rewind it back

Black history began

Long before the slaves

And Amerikkka should begin

With every unmarked grave

Every soul they took without permission

Every family torn apart

With no remission

Forty acres and a mule

Could never bring forgiveness

Let’s all begin

By supporting black-owned business

May every conscious soul

Stop feedin’ the system

May we all take time to truly stop and listen

To the anger, the pain

The injustice, the wisdom

May we fight the injustice

Release them from this prison

We are one human race

All deserve to be free

May the pathway to peace

Begin with me
