You may shoot us,

Strange fruit hanging from the poplar trees, is this my new home?

Hell no,

the resilience we posses

deflect your bullets of hate, ignorance and inferiority.

but you'll never kill the dream.

How dare you attempt to make us quake in fear?

Bitch do you know who the fuck who are?

We’re the foundation of life, the epitome of superhuman.

Our skin laced with armor,

eyes sharp as blades,

hair vast as tree roots and heart deeper than the oceans you carried us over.

but you’ll never kill the dream.

This is your final warning, are your ears opened?

We’ve created everything you have and can take it away just like that.

Is this what you want?

I’d advise to tread very lightly…

the tables always turn.
