It’s been a long time coming for my people and we still haven't made it
we've gone from outcasts and prisoners to under valuing ourselves through hatred
disowning our own kind so strongly, you would think we was racist
holding each other back from making it, you would think we was racing
aiming for that checkered flag, but they rather see us stripes
putting us in hostile situations, because they rather see us fight
don't give us all the answers, because they don't want us to be right
leaving us in the dark, because they don't want us to see the light
they're turning my people against each other and what's the real reason
because apart we stand for little, but together we can't be defected
it seems as though we all in the same war, but it’s hard to trust with the treason
selling each other out for nothing, who are we really pleasing
killing and hurting each other and proud they left bleeding
taking a life and ruining a life, who really happy we succeeded
no heroes among my people because they're often seen as villains
no love from my people because they don't teach us about feelings
handed us the drugs, turn around and arresting us for dealing
leaving us with little food and then arresting us for stealing
since day one of being here it’s been all about the control
tearing us apart and destroying our culture was their goal
convincing us that our people worship the devil and sold their soul
and having us love a country that was built off our gold, that they stole
my people blind to the fact but yet it’s obvious and bold
that we so far from making it, will we ever, I don't know...
