Inheritance

Ignorance shows no mercy
With its claws in deep
Pain taught us our worth
Their hate is ours to feed

Prejudice within your borders
Built a country over our graves
Monuments upon our backs
Can't hide the lives you take

An agenda a century old
And I'm the next in line
This hate is My inheritance
Their scars, Their scars are mine

A cheap slogan and an orange shirt
Worn to deceive with all they burn
Broken promises and empty words
Was all our pain ever earned

What awareness is left to raise
Was this ever going to change
Your mind was already made
A cycle impossible to break

An agenda a century old
And I'm the next in line
This hate is My inheritance
Their scars, Their scars are mine

Strangled by the poverty
Asphyxiate the youth
What little hope abandoned
When it's light reached so few

Endure but never prosper
This is the fate of a slave
Branded by their atrocities
As we fall within in its wake
