Speak Up My Brother
This song tries to capture the iniquities faced by the minority race despite being born with same rights in the same land. The need to fight this bigotry and overcome the base instinct of racial prejudice.

Race race race,
Breathing down my neck
Run faster run harder,
Race won't stop the chase
Racy smile,
Voice such a delight
If she cross to the other side,
Race'll skin our hide
Speak up my brother, speak up before time
Speak your peace, dignity and freedom ain't no crime.
Speak up my brother, speak up before time
Speak your peace, dignity and freedom ain't no crime.
Glass ceiling, shut window,
high fences hard floor,
Race the another name
for keys to the door.
You made all that the dough
you show all that gold
Staying quiet
not fighting the good fight
You're just another can kicked down the road.
Speak up my brother, speak up before time
Speak your peace, dignity and freedom ain't no crime.
Speak up my brother, speak up before time
Speak your peace, dignity and freedom ain't no crime.
Eating the same food
Cooking the same dish
Can't share a laugh Can't share a table
Race in harmony a forlorn wish
Fearing change, fence the home range
Split the race and unite the same
Load the gun take aim
Shoot whoever feels unlike
Shoot whoever looks not akin
Race makes blind, fucking with your psyche
The greed that sees only the colour of the skin.
Myopic in its vision
Race in such a short time
Feels it owns, feels it's blessed
Race one's sublime
and every other's slime
Speak up my brother, speak up before time
Speak your peace, dignity and freedom ain't no crime.
