How can there be so much division between everyone?
Why we asking questions, like we don’t understand? We act like it ended, when it just begun
Have we become blind, deaf and mute that we no longer demand equality?
Like we were asking for a commodity
How do you expect me to continue to pray?
Few make millions while the rest of us stay hungry with no pay!
Capitol hill, for Capitol Kill, time to know your capitol right
They talk bout the end of racism- now it exist just simply out of sight
YES… colorblindness, another concealed attack
While the majority of those incarcerated are still Latino and Black.
These, the same kids that are killing each other over a block
They have nothing, other than being between a hard place and a Rock
Obama for president doesn’t mean things have changed, he is just one of many
Problems haven’t stopped- look around we continue to have plenty.
How loud do we need to get before they hear us?
Why do we listen when they are saying things are getting better… “Trust just believe us”?
Now we hollering, and the world’s listening,
Opposition building up, corruption starts fizzling.
How many people must die before we take a stand?
How much injustice in the world before we lend a Hand?
Inequality’s only a problem when money’s involved
If we cared about genocide, hunger and war we’d try to resolve!
Instead we continue to create Iniquality, where peace is found in a war for oil
Meanwhile we ignore death, corruption and poverty on our own soil
Time is money, I have neither… I’m wasting both paying tuition
We try to ask questions… we’re told to be quiet and play our position
We stay hungry for knowledge, food and commission
We gotta make a dollar out of a dime like we a magician
Kids where we live go hungry to bed suffering of malnutrition
They want to makes us believe that is a third world condition
But please tell me when was the last time you saw a hungry politician
We want our basics needs met why are we asking permission?
We gotta feed our minds before we can change the way we are treated
We gotta mobilize our people so we are no longer cheated
Brake these chains of acceptance, and escape these bars
That stops us from understanding Poverty is not only under the stars
