I Smile

I Smile

You stole me from my land,
You stole my ideas,
You stole my dreams.

I smile

You took my parents away from me,
You removed my children from me,
You changed my name.

I smile

You gave me your religion,
You beat me for learning,
You kill my brothers just because.

I smile

You put me in ghettos,
You put me in jail cells,
You want to be entertained.

I smile

I'm tired of smiling, I'm pissed the FUCK off... I'm done smiling.
