You hate my kind! you hate my people the surface of this matter is clearly defined
A disastrous sequel
Initialized by your forefathers and embedded in your mind
You wish to restrain my flexible swivel
So that you continue to blind and bind
My black vision
I do not understand how it hurts your pride
Or how you feel imprisoned
When i invest my effort trying to refine
My golden broken spirit
But yet you still loot from our mines
And enhance your riches
Only to serve me a fragment of treasure that is rightfully mine
While you keep hold of the bigger piece
You look at me as if I'm covered in slime
You are disgusted by my kind!.You hate my kind!, you don't approve my existence
You wish to terminate my kind!, that explains the advance pestilence
That dominates in my continent, how is that possible it was created by your kind!
You kill my kind!, Ahmaud Arbery is the evidence
You watch me sigh and you rejoice in my sadness
But why my kind!, you saw it fit and perfect
To dehumanize my kind, you must be an angel of the serpent
Sent on earth to free your kind and enslave mine
You deceived my kind!, you crippled my sister's confidence
You made her believe that she should be like your kind for acceptance
Natural beauty has been put to a halt only that of my kind, a life sentence to the brown fragrant skin, it wrinkles and its African rooted beauty perish by your so brought with colonization cosmetics
You hate my kind!
