how is it that
each step taken
is another step back
could it be because
our first steps on this soil
were force upon us
no choice was given
or a ticket to be purchase
one way ride
cause the skin color
was the price
of that last ride
o this still matters now
it should not but it does
even if it is not really spoken out loud
it is the laws that has been written
in the doubts that has been placed in our mind..
the chain unseen by the eyes..
yet the weight is still so heavy
sick and tire
of being sick and tire
yet each step i do take
i pave the road
because it is the one behind me
that is the one pushing me
not to give up...
