Hey if you don't like the song at least you'll think the title is cool! Hehe. I was rather proud of it. Anyway, this is dedicated to those who've had to suffer persecution because of the color of their skin. It is a warning to those also who say one thing and act totally different.
The Ruling Prototype
Every day you say you know what love is
(Chorus 1)
(verse 2)
(Chorus 2)
(bridge)
(repeat chorus 2 twice)
(ending)
Despite what people are on the outside, you say.
I wish your words turn sour in your mouth.
Your actions deny everything you say.
I wish that this hate didn't drive a nation away
From the very love you preach.
I am not an obstacle in your way -
I am capable of human feeling, too.
We all cry to be free.
We all wish we could be free.
This skn is not a window to my soul.
Yet somehow you can see through.
Do you know me?
Do you know me?
My race is what's different.
So you choose to smite me.
Do you love me?
Do you hate me?
I feel the pain of the past generations upon me.
Is your heart so hard that you can't feel it too?
Arise from ashes laid down by ancestral ties,
And maybe love will break through your unmerciful eyes.
You can't keep me from being who I am.
You can't break or steal what no one can.
This skin is not a window to my soul.
Yet somehow you can see through.
Do you know me?
Do you try to?
My race is what's different.
So you choose to smite me.
Do you love me?
Do you try to?
Tradition through the ages
Might seem true.
It's only the devil's
Lies in disguise.
I am anot a member
Of some terroist group.
I am not a victum
Of circumstance.
I am entitled to the same grace.
I deserve some room to breathe.
This is the world's ruling prototype.
It won't rule me.
It won't rule me.
Not me....
