 By Street Cries

I run for the days my ancestors where slaves beat tossed in a grave

Four hundred years work no pay

Death to those who ran away

Hung from a tree till they passed away

Women and children taken away stripped of religion way they pray

I run for the days Malcolm X was slayen

Martin Luther had a dream but ended the same

Government flooded hoods with cocaine

Panthers blamed put in prison chains eraseing names

Marching for civil rights police fight dog bite Mississippi burning at night

I run for the days churches went a blaze

Hatred for the way we are made

Homeless kids no where to stay my people trapped in a maze Buying escalade cent not saved

Taught to consumers keep us in place

So I run this race voice of the unheard put mental food on da plate

Going pass rules they make

Supply masses with tools that don't break

Blood of a king you can see it in my face
