the pines of my history

won’t be conformed by the likes of society

won’t be blinded by the lies they feed me

won’t be confined to the pines of my history

they hung from the nooses that hung from the trees

well i hang with me and a couple just like me

don’t give the opportunity for them to see

the dangling of my, their, of our feet

so easily led astray stuck in this paper chase

to see so many lost is a total disgrace

on my face, no look of surprise

i see the look in ur eyes

you want to let go but can’t evade your demise

a word from the wise keep your shoes tied

keep them eyes open wide and always on the prize

won’t be conformed by the likes of society

won’t be blinded by the lies they feed me

won’t be confined to the pines of my history

Author notes

just dealing with today's racist prejudice and political corruption
