I had to do this for my English class so why not, and it kind of sucks because I suck.
Remake of La Migra by Pat Mora (By: Kianna H.)
Stanza 1:
Let's play oppression
I'll be the white man.
You'll be the Black man.
I get the power and opportunity.
You get the bare minimum,
and not even that
because I have laws.
I can treat you however
I want, but don't complain
at all because
I gave you freedom.
Freedom to do as
I please but don't complain
because at least you are here
to submit to me -- and that's your blessing
and do what I won't.
Oh, and I have the almighty power to oppress.
Get ready, get set, obey.
Stanza 2:
Let's play oppression
You be the white man.
I'll be the Black man.
Your laws get tested,
and we've awoken coming
to realize.
All you have is against you: servants
power, opportunities, superiority, alliance
I know how it is
what is true
what is right
Hear the allegiance
and resistances all around.
A ni awọn nọmba lori
ẹgbẹ wa [1], though you've took
the time to tear us down
Get ready.
[1] We have numbers on our team.
TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK.
