I live the life my ancestors fought hard for
Getting whipped, going free
through the
underground railroad
I grew up with my parents telling me my past will help pave my future
It is unfair that I have to live the DREAM
But through my eyes I hope you can see your hard work pay off
We are free, free to have property, and work our own land, free to have an education that will lead us to ressurection in America
I wish Harriet Tubman was here to see that she led the way to open doors to Obama to be president one day
I wish Malcolm X was here today to see black people unified and taking back our soul
My future is clear and like Martin's dream I hope to survive with equality knocking at my door
Martin looked over the mountaintop
But as for me I want to go over the mountain before I die
Because my past is my future and like Maya Angelou STILL I RISE!!!
