Arrive here with fear not knowing what land it is I stand
Stripped of all my essence and history being told I am not a man
Changing my name and giving one of no value upon me
Erasing all my heritage from the books that you call history.
Telling the truth about nothing, but fabricated with lies.
Killing all who stood up with assassination tries.
Garvey, Malcolm, martin, and huey knew now gone
Kennedy you even killed who I thought was your own.
Reparations promised yet not given till this day.
Labor only being done in a more covered up way.
Open Your Eyes
