The foundation of power
The absurdity of the lies you convince yourself of
The lies that we are the problem and your not
But your envy betrays you
The one thing that you want But can't have
Our blackness
Your colonisation skills have failed you
After all its the one thing you can't take from us
You're so full of hatred
You erupt like a volcano
Except its hatred you spill
Trying to burn of our skin
It's why you try so hard to instill
Inferiority in us
Something you have always felt within
Don't force your insecurities onto us
We are not placeholders
For your hurt egos
We will not carry the weight of your burdens
We are not your slaves
It's why you feel threatened
When we stand up for ourselves
Because you don't have us to parent you
To be slaves to your supposed superiority
Because deep down you feel inferior to us
And even deeper down you see us a superior
Because no matter what you throw at us
We end up victorious
Because we will never back down
And that is our power
