Broken 4 Repair

Broken 4 Repair

 

I shall not be the broken spirit

you tried so hard to manipulate.

 

You can send me to the judge

a million times and I'll still look him

in the face and say I am not a

"product" of my upbringing.

 

You can continue to shackle me

and my people, close the gates of freedom,

and deprive me of air, but your chains

will be broken.

 

If not by me, then by another person that

looks just like me, cept' this time they'll

be even bolder & sharper with their speech,

and education, together we'll inch closer

to having a voice.

 

And this time you'll listen and understand

and if you choose not to listen, we'll

continue to come forward, soldiers of our own war

not yours.
