On the backs of our people<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On the backs of our people<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On the backs of our people<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On the backs of our people<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When we stand up you fall off<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When we stand up you fall off<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You rode for free<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Our attainment panics you<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Our ascent is demoralizing to you<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Our articulation still surprises you<\/p>\n\n\n\n
History discredits your truth<\/p>\n\n\n\n
History quiets your lies<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As we rise you reach<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As we rise, we teach<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As we rise your truth becomes the lie<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Your beliefs confuse you<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Our beliefs confuse you<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Four hundred years was not a big enough lead<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Our backs could not be broken<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Our heads could not remain bowed<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The shoulders, the shoulders<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When we stand, we are taller<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As we stand, you can\u2019t ride<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As we stand, you can\u2019t reach the shoulders<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The shoulders are not for you<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
