Why You Wanna Be My Enemy?

Discrimination and injustice

Where would you be

If your family journeyed through Jim Crow and Slavery?

Why you wanna be my enemy?

You’re still the enemy

We’re still on the battlefield

Don’t fly that flag in front of me

It’s all pain and misery

Shame on you

And all who say nothing when you do

Look how long it took to see less of it

If its heritage, its hate.

Dominate

Alienate

How much more you?

The President shouldn’t have pardoned them so easily

Shame on you

Don’t lie to me

I know my history

See free journey

Let America be

What its suppose to guarantee

Ain’t no maybe

We want to see

All its glory (beauty)

Quit trying to keep people down

There’s nothing to debate

Can’t separate the heritage from the hate

In spite of all the history

You still want people to buy that story

So many ways to express heritage

And you wanna lift up your white privilege??

It’s not all up to you

People of color are southerners too

How dare you

Affirm

Why would you choose a symbol of bondage

in a terms of hate treason

bondage

This has to end

But I won’t hold my breath

i have to make this statement

as part of the 1st amendment

and also to tell my kids and grandkids

Do not let go of your peace!

just because someone wants to fight in the streets

how poor must they be

for that to be their reality?

Protect yourself; protect yourself

Do not become someone else’s doormat

While you take it on

You’ve also got to let it go

Cuz no man can bear all the world’s sorrows

So if you wish and you want

To stand out on the issue

Then do so very well

i’ll be there to support you

Make your statement make it clear

Then afterwards put it on the altar my dear

Cuz noone’s gonna live forever

We all ride the elevator
