We will fight

They think of our skin as  the bad image
They judge us from the start but will never see see the finish 
We in the race that can’t be finished 
We in the place where only gods the witness
We never did anything wrong but we the ones begging for forgiveness 
We just ask for y’all to stop killing us 
When will I be able to walk down the street without  a cop pulling up 
I’m walking with my head down 
Might never lift it up
We will fight forever 
No we never giving up

    This is a very strong piece. I think it would be a great opportunity for a recording. Hearing a voice emphasize the rhythm and emotion would take this to another level.
    Thank you for sharing! This is a great piece. :)
