Upon this land we do march today
For these liberties and dreams that are rightfully ours the constitution does say
Each man, each woman, red, yellow, black, or white
Is created equal in the eyes of the law and that is right.
Skin does not determine the people that we are
Yet it unrightfully determines the situations that we face.
Freedom that you take so lightly and without concern
Is the only thing for which we all yearn.
Give us our rights and we’ll give you back your street.
Or in Hell again all equal we shall meet.
