Reset

                                       Reset 

I guess we're back to where we started
Holding up signs walking down the streets 
Getting sprayed left and right by the white men in the sheets
Except they took the sheets off, sure that means grip to me
Now these tyrants wearing hats and glasses on a killing spree
(White America )At least we ended slavery!!
Man don't gimme that, once you stop killing little kids then I'll tip the hat. hold on, wait I forgot, yall ain't got no time for that
Well isn't this a lucky day for you, Wait, no it's not !
You killed a boy with his hands up, 
choked a man with his hands down.
Cops make me wanna  frown
How does it feel to separate a future man from his future wife ?
How can you sleep at night knowing that you took a life?
 It's time to turn the table
Black people, what took you so long ? 
Why did you wait 50 years to finish singing Martin's song?
I just don't understand how different colors on the same man
Causes a war and turns the "free" land into a wasteland
Can't blame Martin,  Frederick, Rosa, Harriet, W.E.B, or anyone because we tried our best. I wish there was a button somewhere in the world that would make it reset.
