We should stand together in unity
To free the people that we put in captivity
40 million people are subject to slavery
Even more if we count those who live in fear of being treated differently
We treat them differently because of the color of their skin
When the fact is that we all share kin
We stole their food, we stole their music
We stole their culture without giving credit
We are a part of the problem as long as we hold their freedom in captivity
We think its such a bother, reading about it every day
But sticking our heads in the sand won't make the issue go away
We push it away, saying "all lives matter"
Well, if that were true, black deaths should make you sadder
By saying "all lives matter", you are climbing the racist ladder
It's irresponsible to diverge attention from this matter
Readers thought if Rue was white, it would make her death a lot sadder
If this applies to real life matters, what about the death of Tamir Rice?
(A young boy shot to death, non fiction, real life)
We need to take responsibility for the choices we don't make
For our actions and the consequences, the promises that we will break
Colonialism lives on today, but we look the other way
We have controlled the narrative for too long, when will it ever change?
We stole their food, we stole their music
We stole their culture without giving credit
We are a part of the problem as long as we hold their freedom in captivity
