There were white robes burning amongst the sky
Molotov cocktails gave light to the city
Chanting the songs of desperate unity
A melody could be felt by the revitalized community
Hugs synonymous to reuniting with long gone heart mates
Eyes were filled with the sweat of those who secured heartache
After realizing equality wouldn't keep melanin safe
The minds of the architects of the pyramids found present space
When they brought up segregation in 2025
We agreed to sign our nation on the line
To depend on each other was a necessity overdue
Equality and justice were never witnessed by the colorful hues
We tried a relationship and you broke our heart and souls literally
Education of self-hate to love false images
To love hair that grows towards heaven and not assimilate to hair that grows towards hell
We see our ex's in public and greet subtlety and wish well
We asked for love and respect
We fought to keep the relationship
But you can't love what you don't understand
And you can't love who you don't understand
This is the break up letter
The letter that didn't want to be written
Segregate politics, banking, and the education system
Only black cops will respond to black children
An abusive relationship with you can no longer be tolerated
Our mother knows we're beautiful
Our father knows we're intelligent
But our relationship here, you make the obvious irrelevant
So, as Summer 2027 breezes by
We still don't forgive you
We will never ask for your help again
...wish it could've worked out.
