They Have Made All Civil Rights Evil
They have made all
Civil Rights Evil
They've been taken
Away from us by
The Devil
Makes not want
To be a tenant
Apartments might
As well be vacant
We are being treated
As if we're dollar signs
Human Trafficked by
Your landlord
Evil witch neighbor doing
So much banging that
You're struggling to sleep
Day or night
Why vote if we are not
Protected
Shot dead just trying
To go out to do
Our daily jogging
That child you hit
You could have missed
But she lost her future
Because on that side walk
You decided to drive wild
Like the devil's
Why take my financial aid
When grades went from
Low to high
And my appeal was denied
You put me on academic
Probation maybe four times
Why try to make
If I was born a failure
To you
Your insults only make
Me feel sad and blue
Even though the
Bible us
Don't hate me because I
Love to praise Jesus
I'm still your legal relative
So don't push me away
I might end up becoming
The answer to your day
