"America, Land of the free"
I've heard that so many times before
It's a lie
Because
Not all of us are free
Freedom is for white people
Your people
Not my people
My people are those of darker skin,
Brown skin
Skin that
Isn't
White
We don't have the privilege of walking past a cop
And not feeling scared
We don't have the privilege of not being called slurs
For just simply existing on this earth
We don't have the privilege of not being told to "go back to our country"
We don't have those privileges because
We don't have privilege
Let it be known that
America will never truly be the "Land of the free"
Until it frees us
