Cry of the Colored

Why do you judge the skin
My color is not a sin
Don't put me in between
God please intervene
Before you arrived here
I knew the surroundings
Caves hold treasures dear
Can you read my paintings?
Call me Bushman, Khoisan
But I'll tell you once again
This is where you found me
And here I am meant to be
Fighting for what is mine
But you're standing in line
For a place under the sun
I used to believe we're one
But only for your benefit
Pressing me out like a zit
But that's about to end
My heritage I will defend
Just give back what is ours
Let us for once hold the power
To show you why I am here
And fix what I hold so dear
So call me what you want
I'm the one leading the hunt
My pen is my only sword
Like truth in my painted words
