Tekst Utworu

Second-class always in the shadow
Living life in a world that we can't follow
History's written but not in our voice
Fighting for freedom was it ever a choice?
1900 "Here's your property and pay "
But your worth is still defined by what the men say
1910 they said "Fine wear the pants "
But equality's a dream we never had a chance
1920 white women get to vote
But black women? Still left to float
We fought and bled demanding more
A hundred years still keeping score
Second-class citizens shadows in the sun
Fighting battles but the war's never won
They gave us scraps told us to wait
But freedom's a dream they regulate
Second-class citizens always left behind
Picking up the pieces of a fractured mind
1963 they promised equal pay
But the gap still grows larger every day
1965 black women's votes secured
Decades too late their pain endured
1969 finally free to say
"I want a divorce I'm walking away "
1972 birth control's in hand
Still treated like it's contraband
1974 we could buy our own land
1988 own a business make a stand
1994 the law said "You can fight "
Against abuse but only in the light
It's anger it's fire it's the weight of years
A history of struggle soaked in tears
Second-class citizens shadows in the sun
Fighting battles but the war's never won
They gave us scraps told us to wait
But freedom's a dream they regulate
Second-class citizens always left behind
Picking up the pieces of a fractured mind
They call it progress but we see the truth
A system built to suppress from our youth
Every step forward a chain pulled back
The fight for equality's an unending track
Modern-day voices still echo the pain
Our rights aren't gifts they're earned in the rain
We scream we rise we demand our place
In a world that's denied us a fair embrace
Second-class citizens shadows in the sun
Fighting battles but the war's never won
They gave us scraps told us to wait
But freedom's a dream they regulate
Second-class citizens always left behind
Picking up the pieces of a fractured mind
We're not done we're not through
This fight's for me this fight's for you
Second-class no more we're taking the stage
Centuries of fury let loose the rage
