"There comes a time when silence is betrayal" -Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

Times are changing. Gone are the days when I walk down the street with a hood on my head
Gone are the days when I can put my hands up in surrender to police
Gone are the days when I can an expensive pair of Air Jordans
Gone are the days when I can sit in the back of a police car
Gone are the days
But Gone are the days when I stay silent
I refuse to stay silent
I will no longer sit back and watch bad things happen
I am a person, but you don't treat me as such
I'm going to stand up and fight
And in the end, I will win
