Do you still see a... SLAVE

Do you see a slave 

Shackled and helpless to fight 

Do you still see a slave 

Scared to be shot down 

Shot down while in flight 

Do you still percieve yourself 

Master, ruler of all things black 

Do you still believe yourself superior 

Because you crafted mechanisms

And instruments to make it so

Why do you still deny me so 

Why must I strive

To my limits and beyond 

While you are advantaged 

Advantaged because people like me

People who sweat and bleed 

They sweat and bleed

In a system governed by greed 

A system in which you thrive 

A system in which I am deprived 

Do you still see a slave 

When you look at people like me
