2 Dub Official - Roses (A Spoken Truth)

You ever sit back and just
Think about how things used to be
Compared to how they are now
And see how it's really no difference at all, man
I remember my people were kept in duress
No surrender and infants were catered to gators
Some stuck out there necks to regress the oppression
But wound up next
With looped necks on tree branches
Fought with tired feet, red hands
The blood dance
Dreams of free lands
But free minds were all managed
Our gain was through pain and remains to no change
Demise is still plotted for melanin skin
As world leaders pretend racism has ended
Now hunted like beasts by demons behind lenses
And words that spell hope
But shield a killing definition
Your silencer cannot silence an infinite voice
Who's volume grows higher with every hindering choice
From those that oppose
Our fire will never grow cold
But our hearts, in time
May freeze the light that you shine
And darken the roads that you close
As our unity explodes
And tramples freely, no holds
But you don't want that
