Encircle

Right here in Brookland, lookin’ back in the day
Blacks been denied peace, our rights taken away
At the Christian college where they follow Christ
Said no integration, they forgot their heist
Virginity robbed and the land is stolen 
For my family bled for the master’s wants
To lust for his prey, the very thing he hunts
The criminal assigns crime; covers himself
White supremacy raped its way to its wealth
Can’t deny what’s in front, escape what’s behind
Lie to the youth by takin’ history’s time
Tryna tell me the South’s defined by a line
Like each state’s gotta be red, blue, or purple
So, seems society’s doomed to encircle.
