The crawl of your kind
The reason I stand on my feet
The people before me
They fought for freedom
Wish I could meet them
My dark skin
They wish to have my skin
not with the sins
You want the power
The beauty
No one wants the pain
This left my kind insane
My dark skin
I stand for a reason
To sing the meaning
The past we felt
We tried so hard
Walked so far
The marches we lead
Did you hear what we said?
My dark skin
The beating they took
The words that shook
Our souls ride in my words
Don't try to dig up those swords
My dark skin
Don't get physical
This is mental
We fight to be equal
My tears falls
For the men who received the calls
My dark skin
Walking tall
You can't fall
Stand for something
Be better
Read each letter
My dark skin
Don't stop yet
You just can't
Giving up isn't an option
I'm American
My dark skin
The chains were seen
But nothing deemed
See me not my skin
My dark skin
