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
