Death to February

I hope the whole world can hear my cry
I wish this generation would open their eyes
In 1999 the government was convicted of murdering Dr. King
They say let freedom ring
I guess that's why the KKK is allowed to have a large rally
They shut down the Black Panthers
What happened to freedom of expression
So you mean the white man's oppression is the only exception?
It's funny that they're trying to take slavery out of children's history books
But the NCAA is allowed to run kids into ground just to make mega bucks
No compensation, so many broken dreams
Thanksgiving represents the death of the natives by whites for their livelihood and beliefs
The whites stole the native's lands, the whites were the immigrants
If that's not illegal, then who knows what is
Let's ask the Mexicans who just want a new place to live
Better lives for their families
Is that too much too give
Cause it was so much to take
There is always so much at stake
Our mother's fear what we'll say cause they might try to take their babies away
Take us back to tar and feathered just to claim they've freed us
The fearful are the wicked
God why can't the wicked cease from us
For love sees no color
But unfortunately hate does
They try to blame it all on Jesus
But look how they treated Him
Then they try to blame their mistakes on the black president
It's funny how no one ever claims ownership or even remembers past events
I guess the devil still dances when our voices quake
That explains why the rain falls through the sun's rays
The hate will never stop not even for lunch time
Not even in crunch time can we be oblivious
We must be conscience of the dangers that bring no deliverance
Awareness is the only air not tainted with diseases
400 years of pyramids and we still haven't found freedom.
