War on Drugs
Mass incarceration is another fancy word for
Civil enslavement
Yeah you see a black man walking on the pavement
Automatically thinking that he did something incriminated
Please tell me
When did the justice system believe that
While murderers roaming free
That their first priority
Was to have a war on drugs
Please tell me
When did the police
Thought it was okay to
Search and seize
Someone else’s property
Without the right documentations
Look where society has come to
Over the past hundred years
Will the lower minorities ever let go of their fears
Their tears shed throughout
The whipping the lynching and the overpopulating in the prisons
Where is our new beginning?
Where is the life that is worth living?
When will the activist say
That it’s okay
To walk in the street
And not be harassed
When is it our time to laugh?
Because right now it isn’t funny
The lack of education
Making us look like dummies
When is the abuse going to stop?
We are not supposed to be afraid of the cops
They say to protect and serve
But it looks like
They’re only protecting the government
To serve us on a silver platter
You ask me why does this matter
And I will say
One day I would love to see the world where color doesn’t matter
One day I would love to raise my child in the world of equality
So many people are oblivious to the facts
That so many people have a target on their backs
There’s no time to relax
Because there are so many groups that have collapse
Fell into their traps
Then put back into the world
Just to relapse
The system makes it easier
For them to fail
Leading to this one question
Are we ever going to prevail?
