In 1619 slaves arrived in Virginia
Almost 4 hundred years later
Prejudice still continues in the hearts
Of the elite and of the elect but only
Manifest covertly with disrespect,
Check it... federal fugitive slave laws
Enacted and the African American's
Freedom is retracted well, the slaves
Revolted the militia rebels and every
One of them was hanged after time
In jail cells, Garrison publishes his
Famous liberator Fredrick Douglas
And his abolitionist newspaper,
Educators of a sort of a cause set
Forth to put an end to slavery and
Kill racial divorce
Free at last, free at last, free at last...
Harriet Tubman put the slaves into
Escape mode became a celebrated
Leader of an underground railroad
And uncle tom's cabin by miss
Beecher Stowe man it's still an
Inspiration though written long
Ago and, in a sense it represents the
Epitome of anti slavery sentiments in
World history, and other attempts to
Put an end to all this bigotry like John
Brown's arsenal attack on Harpers Ferry
, Well the south secedes and the
Confederacy forms which in turn lights
The fire for the civil war, the union is
Triumphant but Lincoln is assassinated,
Two years after his emancipation
Proclomated, on the plantation
We had our season passes now we
Thank God Almighty cause we're free
...we're free at last
You see the 13th and 14th and 15th amendments were a little too late for government repentance, well Brown
Vs the board of education changed
The nation when it declared its
Standpoint on racial segregation,
And the civil rights movements
Introduced and it starts and its
Lead by the Doctor and miss
Rosa Parks, the Little Rock nine
Endure the trial of a lifetime as
Only adolescents horrid victims
Of some hate crimes... America
The beautiful America the brave,
Home of the free but land of the
Enslaved
