    Against White Supremacy - Spoken Word

    Can’t stop Racing thoughts The audacity Racist cops They get away scot-free Seven shots The man can’t breathe I can’t watch another cop walk No shame in their genocide called exceptional over 400 years So yes, it’s intentional junk science Manifest destiny Land and Resources for those with less melanin Under the guise of religion supposedly ordained by the Lord Disguised as a sword the lies the broken treaties the massacres Pequot Sand creek Wounded knee the Cold war Proxy Excuse to kill People of Color Label the indigenous Guerillas They round them up and drain the water from the Fish Who trained them? Who gave them the weapons? Kill the Indian Save the man, Residential schools The evil They were just children Ripped from their families And look what you did to them Parents that tried to fight Were arrested by your LAW On Sedition The football team removed the mascot But Peltier is still in prison Stolen lives Stolen dreams In chains Across the Sea No respect for nothing Not their names, or beliefs Or tears from broken families Sold down river the trauma Torture Mutilation Exploitation Fake emancipation Convict Leasing You set them up and sold them out with reconstruction sharecropping lynchings Jim crow black codes Angola Parchman Prison Bombingham the Redlining what your hate did to Emmett Till also killed Medgar and was complicit in Malcolm’s death And you even killed their King And continued family separation Attica Sing Sing The members of their vanguard Are now elders behind bars Free Russell Maroon Shoatz, Jamil Al-Amin And Mumia Abu Jamal! Free all the Political Prisoners! And CHILDREN behind bars, worldwide!
