Blood Stained Heritage

Bodies historically dehumanized
Bloodshed from slavery and subjugation
Through many forms of violence
From the beginning of invasions

Blood stained heritage
Blood stained heritage

A history so violent stained the past and present
Atrocities perpetuate in our genome
Miscegenation from systematic abuse
Romanticized to conceal the horror

Blood stained heritage
Blood stained heritage

The fallacy of racial democracy
An excuse not to admit
That many nations were born
From violation, blood and slavery
