Why did it have to be this way Why my people have to be enslaved In every history book it's engraved They forgot even their own history They blame us for the way we behave They like telling us to go that way Why did it have to be this way Why my people have to be enslaved In every history book it's engraved They forgot even their own history They blame us for the way we behave They like telling us to go that way What does my skin have to do with it Because I'm black Doesn't make me a criminal F*ck the mentality I'm through with it When did a racist do something great for humanity? Every racist has nothing in life he or she attache pride to there skin Every racist is a loser is what I learned, apparently I used to ask myself Why do they shot our youngsters Devils don't live under the ground They live amongst us I'm not saying every cops are bad But the ones who kill my brothers make me mad Why do they have to make our mothers sad No one is safe that's bad that's an issue Instead of birthday gifts We handing funeral tissues Why did it have to be this way Why my people have to be enslaved In every history book it's engraved They forgot even their own history They blame us for the way we behave They like telling us to go that way Why did it have to be this way Why my people have to be enslaved In every history book it's engraved They forgot even their own history They blame us for the way we behave They like telling us to go that way It hurts when your judged by your skin tone It hurts you're black The cops won't leave you alone They might shoot you in safety of your own home Or end up talking to your brother in prison phone It's so much pain Weighing on my brain I'm praying I can maintain Till society change No race is better than another We all humans we bleed the same So why not just love eachother Weakened if we're separate but stronger in unity I wish to live in world where no matter your Ethnicity We all have Equal opportunity Why did it have to be this way Why my people have to be enslaved In every history book it's engraved They forgot even their own history They blame us for the way we behave They like telling us to go that way Why did it have to be this way Why my people have to be enslaved In every history book it's engraved They forgot even their own history They blame us for the way we behave They like telling us to go that way
