J. Powell - I Am A Man Remixed

If a picture is a 1, 000 words
Has it occurred
Cause of its color
People don't know it's worth
I'll be first to tell them what they deserve
Which is the worst curse straight from my ancestors
Why dont they accept our history
That's on its canvas
If they don't know the meaning
Will they search for the answers
Or will they avoid the issue like it's a cancer
And reject the education
Cause it's not substantial
How many black bodies die in the street
By a shield only that cares about the powers that be
And covers up the blood that flows right under our feet
They oppresses our rights
Cause they don't want us to breathe
This fight not everybody will see
Especially if you see the writing Which is racism and greed
They'd rather divide us than multiply us
We gotta continue to fight this
We gotta continue to fight this
Why should I stand
When you can't Stand my likeness, and my people dying
I use the 1st amendment right
But you just want to override them
That's about to change
We went from being in chains
To wearing chains were about the change the game
Things will never be the same
I will exist beyond my pain
