The darker the flesh<br />
Then the deeper the roots.<br />
We are all in cahoots<br />
Here for our educational pursuits<br />
So one day we can recruit<br />
The next generation of<br />
Leaders and breeders<br />
Of revolutionary change<br />
That won’t be foreign or strange<br />
And finally rearrange<br />
The injustices that imprison us all<br />
Let’s collaborate and stand tall<br />
Play some damn hardball<br />
Don’t allow our ignorance<br />
To be our downfall<br />
Open our hearts and minds<br />
Install and see<br />
The reflection of beauty<br />
That lies between you and me.<br />
Like a moth to a flame<br />
Burned by the fire<br />
Our schools are dangerous<br />
Kids flee gunfire<br />
That’s the way the world goes<br />
It blows<br />
I know I’m sick of hearing<br />
I told you so…<br />
(Cassie)<br />
Head down,<br />
Eyes shut,<br />
Fists clenched…<br />
I said head down<br />
Eyes shut,<br />
Fists clenched…<br />
Head down,<br />
Eyes shut<br />
Fists clenched…<br />
