We’re created in the image of God
Yet, we can face insurmountable odds
When evil is met with a wink and nod
We must keep courage because we’re hunted
Where others grow and flourish, we’re stunted
Across the land, we ask to understand
It’s not fantasy what we feel, it’s real
Please don’t fear us, take the time to hear us
There’s so much more we can tell of the tale
About the plight and fight of the black male
