The Pledge

I was seldom seen walking this road With teeth showing
Been So long marching for freedom My Knee swollen
Voice horse screaming Black Lives Matter think it's trolling
Undervalued
Still overlooked
Keep going

Crazy how we begging for Peace
And They make profit
On One knee seem like we down to
Our last option
Nonsense
400 years we filed grievance
Dehumanized
Yet still want me to Pledge allegiance

Hungry still we Alter the beast like
Sega Genesis
Out of time like Michigan Black Facing predicaments
Dying over led in the water
Same for Jordan's
It's genocide
God give us light first genesis

Mind full of evil I'm troubled with foul thoughts
Struggle breathing asthma as
Bad as the south bronx
Pacing my steps
Retracing them taking no miles off
More we March for the youth
Another innocent Child lost

And Still it's buy black owned to turn Profit
Just Think
Instead of pushing 'em out just Hurt Pockets
Like a prophet attracted to madness
It's like a magnet
Are my people really poor or it's
Poor spending habits
Add it up

When we count on one hand
They try and cheat us
I saw a black man blind get misleaded
Snatching blacks faster than bots that Cop Sneakers
I seen Bebe kids get more freedom

They call it cancer alley
We formed creating rallies
Voice of the people black and say it Proudly
We out here dying not even buried
Oaklin springs
Blacks is refused in Cemeteries

Even graveyards still whites only
We all suffer
Bleed the same Tho death is the
Same color
Try to Smooth us over the trails
Is still rougher
Wrongdoings
100 miles from our homes That still Touch us
Suffer

The black belt Alabama know the History
We still facing injustice
Environmentally
Memories of Union town wishing to Ignite a war
Gave hope to a town that's worth Fighting for

All the mistreating vividly
Stuck in my memory
No Justice and liberty
Replace then mimic me
Been Red through the Bull check ya energy
If the black man ain't rock where Would Plymouth be

No law for killing a black
When will they pass some
Not the first
I'm just praying it's the last one
Show of hands make a pledge
Not a Cash one
They say United we stand but never As one

On the front line bleeding
Treated as Heathens
Whistling fake twenties
They running out of reasons
Look a black child in the eye and
See a genius
I pledge my heart And I mean it
The pledge

I pledge allegiance for the black child
Searching for liberty from the Underground
As one nation tho justice is unfound
If god you trust say it proud

I pledge allegiance for the black child
Searching for liberty from the Underground
As one nation tho justice is unfound
If god you trust say it proud
I pledge
