Land of the free?
Free from tyranny and oppression
In the white man’s case yes
A struggle remains though
No rights for the “colored folk”
All we get
Beat downs, lynching, discrimination
Hatred is what we receive
The fight against white man was hard
But we drive on
On the buses mixed with white and blacks
We march for rights because of a dream we were
Inspired us, fueled us, motivated us
In the end there was no colored or white man
There was only United States Citizen
