| Take a step back |
| To a time past |
| Old story from the bottom of the fucking map |
| Fair skin with the wind behind a rebel flag |
| Blood is blood but I never had imaged that |
| My own kin wallowed in ignorance |
| Burning crosses. A beacon of prejudice |
| My uncle told me of the clan. Our ancestors |
| Tethered by blood in this modern America |
| I have to fight for an equal life |
| I don’t know who would be more surprised |
| Brown skin ridiculed by blue eyes |
| World view through a noose or a white hood |
| It’s all bullshit. I’m the living proof |
| You hear me? |
| I’ll outlast you |
| Heritage that cuts me like hemorrhage |
| No homage to ignorant narrative |
| Weep for my kin soaked in southern blood |
| I bare the shame of your name and your actions |
| To the families affected by hatred |
| My heart breaks. I wish I could change it |
| Now it’s my time |
| I am the last of my family’s name |
| My birth banished the old ways |
| The final hour. The last say |
| Fuck your hate, you mother fuckers |
