No Kin

Take a step back to a time past

Old story from the bottom of the fucking map

Fair skin with the wind behind a rebel flag

Blood is blood but I never had imaged that

My own kin wallowed in ignorance

Burning crosses. A beacon of prejudice

My uncle told me of the clan. Our ancestors

Tethered by blood in this modern America

I have to fight for an equal life

I don't know who would be more surprised

Brown skin ridiculed by blue eyes

World view through a noose or a white hood

It's all bullshit. I'm the living proof

You hear me?

I'll outlast you

Heritage that cuts me like hemorrhage

No homage to ignorant narrative

Weep for my kin soaked in southern blood

I bare the shame of your name and your actions

To the families affected by hatred

My heart breaks. I wish I could change it

Now it's my time

I am the last of my family's name

My birth banished the old ways

The final hour. The last say

Fuck your hate, you mother fuckers
