Land of the free
Home of the greed
Nation of contradictions
They pretend not to see
Melanin outlawed
If you leave it to them
Hereditary target
Embedded in my skin
Forgive them father
They don't know what they've done
It's getting harder
Can't ignore the smoking gun anymore
The system is broken and no one will admit it
The words left unspoken can do nothing to fix it
Cause everyone's scared to be honest
Can we just be honest
I don't understand
Why do you fear me?
We're not the monsters
You believe us to be
Stereotypes kill
Emmitt Till was proof
Trayvon Martin, Michael Brown and Tamir Rice
Never made it out of youth
Forgive them father,
They don't care what they've done
It's getting harder
Can't ignore the smoking gun anymore
The system is broken and no one will admit it
The words left unspoken can fill up the Pacific
Cause everyone's scared to be honest
Why can't we be honest
I'm sick of the propaganda
Don't tell me to get over it
I'm tired of the media slander
Vilifying the innocent
They didn't deserve to die
Too many mothers are asking why
The silence is deafening
This is a war
Ignoring it won't make it better
Can't run from the truth forever
Forgive them father
They don't care what they've done
It's getting harder
Can't ignore the smoking gun
The system is broken and no one will admit it
The words left unspoken can do nothing to fix
Cause everyone's scared to be honest
It's time to be honest
