Black

  Black will rise up because we are strong
We cannot be held down by the white man
we go to school for too long
dealing with everything from rascist teachers and bad grades
wearing our hair in perm and fades

  Doing everything we can to survive
lucky that we're even alive
doing all we can to succeed
but white is still in the lead
holding five jobs with five childeren to feed
teeanage prostitues doing the deed

  We'll put a stop to this fast
no longer will this opression last
see it was easy before to command us
nevermore will you repremand us

  Your perverted game has come to an end
we refuse to be penned
like the balck panther we stalk our prey
in the ground our ancestors lay

  Though we died like Jesus for you sins
we will cast your lies into bins
we will concquer our world then yours

  Our tears drip then pour
tears of empowerment
peace
love
and joy.

    It's certainly packs a punch. The irregular line length and the definite rhyme at the end is a very 21st century thing. Good luck in the contest.
