lirik lagu a dream becomes a nightmare – angela khristin brown
young beautiful black boy
gifted black boy
innocent black boy
when does race become a crime?
at the wrong time
at the wrong place
at the mercy of god
maybe i identify their death as a senseless act
as victims of retribution and misfortune
murdered by the police
like chains clasping at his feat
his death plea
an insurrection into haven
where freedom ain’t so free
where poverty covets needs
where hustling quenches thirst
where addiction covets desire
the root of our problem is where
we fail to understand
the black man carries his weight
like dog tags
because he becomes accountable
for his own actions
it is disappointing to see
black men carry torches
where nooses covets want
where lashes covets thirst
where shackles covets hunger
and silence becomes
our greatest misfortune
because we fail to raise our boys
to become men due to lack of confidence
in our system that failed us
