Where there’s health neglect There’s no self-respect But what else you expect? Look how they dealt the deck We inherited stress Had to bury our best Martin, Malcolm X Bullet holes in they chest We adapt to the struggle Only way we survive Eating scraps from the table But it kept us alive Making something from nothing Still we hope for the best Making miracles happen, daily coping with less Scar strangled banner Scar strangled banner Scar strangled banner Raised in the ghetto Singing songs – called survival But eating soul food to Have you dead on arrival Hand on the rifle Other hand on the bible Strong as an ox But look at what you put inside you We resillient beings Do the silliest things Know better than you better Cause that’s what experience brings Break out of jail But can you break out a sickle cell? We say we livin well But we living in hell
