Alexander Clark

Alexander G. Clark (February 25, 1826 – June 3, 1891) was an African-American businessman and activist who served as United States Ambassador to Liberia in 1890-1891, where he died in office.

The case achieved a constitutional ruling for integration from the Iowa state supreme court in 1868, 86 years before the United States Supreme Court decision of Brown v. Board of Education (1954). He was a prominent leader in winning a state constitutional amendment that gained the right for African Americans in Iowa to vote (1868).

Betrayal is the heart of the name
Betrayal is a part of the game 
When the world stops and everything drops
And it all starts to fade away

I don't even know where I can even go
But I know that I ain't ever coming home
Cause the last time I did I saw you smiling with him
And you've finally crushed me inside 
Now I question everything that you do
Burning every book that I shared with you
My tears are red but my blood runs blue
Go and find another man you can screw
Cause in the end you come crying back to me  
Can't you see the pain that's plain for me to see
Let me be who I wanna be
Cause now its my time to be free
And I question why the hell you'd lie
Better to leave than to be told to die
And I didn't want to say goodbye
Cause my only tether to the world betrayed me
And now I'm out for blood for all the lies she told
And I'll never forget the looks so cold
My broken heart has turned to stone

Betrayal is the heart of the name
Betrayal is a part of the game
When the world stops and everything drops
And it starts to fade away
Betrayal is the source of the pain
And Betrayal is the name of the game 
I'll be up all night to take back the A.M
And all the time I lost by, your betrayal

Now you're gone, I don't know how to feel
Cause I'm starting to question what is real
Or why this world feels so fake
And I don't even know what to take
As I stand alone in this empty world
Trying to play it cool so I don't have to
Watch everything I know dissolve into madness
Cause you've taken everything from me

I stand here, unable to move as I'm
Too scared to be moving forward
Too afraid to be turning back
So why do I feel this deja vu
I can't see why this is happening to me
Is it because I'm missing some clarity
Or was it because I was trying to be someone else

You reminded me of how it feels to be alone
When I thought our future was set in stone
You took my life you took my love
And left all of the pain

Betrayal is the heart of the name
Betrayal is a part of the game
When the world stops and everything drops
And it starts to fade away
Betrayal is the source of the pain
Betrayal is the name of the game 
I'll be up all night to take back the A.M
And all the time I lost by, your betrayal

And that's when you came back, to taunt me, and hate me, and break me
you killed my life, you killed my name
Can't see what's real, can't see what's fake
So how do you think I feel
After losing the one that was meant to be
I'm left with a burning hole in my chest
This fire won't go down or be laid to rest

Are the words I say to no avail
We let this anger lose and pierce the veil 
We cut through the tension we hear in our voices
As we scream at one another 
We can't make the right choices

So don't lie to me anymore
Tell me was this love misplaced
I don't want to be stuck loving you
Cause I've got everything to prove

You showed me truth, you showed me pain
Cause something is lost when you make a gain
And you're my living proof, that I've been fooled
By every little thing that you've consumed

Show me light, show me sorrow
And I'll walk into every trap that you borrow
Bury my life, bury my name
Cause without you I'll never be the same

Betrayal is the heart of the name
Betrayal is a part of the game
When the world stops and everything drops
And it starts to fade away
Betrayal is the source of the pain
Betrayal is the name of the game 
I'll be up all night to take back the A.M
And all the time I lost by, your betrayal

Betrayal is the heart of the name
Betrayal is a part of the game
When the world stops and everything drops
And it starts to fade away
Betrayal is the source of the pain
Betrayal is the name of the game 
I'll be up all night to take back the A.M
And all the time I lost by, your betrayal

And that's when you came back, to taunt me, and hate me, and break me
you killed my life, you killed my name
Can't see what's real, can't see what's fake
So how do you think I feel
After losing the one that was meant to be
I'm left with a burning hole in my chest
This fire won't go down or be laid to rest

Betrayal is the heart of the name
Betrayal is a part of the game
When the world stops and everything drops
And it starts to fade away
Betrayal is the source of the pain
Betrayal is the name of the game 
I'll be up all night to take back the A.M
And all the time I lost by, your betrayal
