BURIED VOICES The next generation Is being plucked off one by one On the streets, in schools and in prison Little ones snuggled In small coffins Buried voices have many stories Voices from down under Have a lot to say but no one bother to listen Buried voices speaking in harmony They want their justice Hunting the soulless Young spirits creeping in the minds of the old and wary Their hit list is endless Years of abuse Caught up And can't get loose Black, young and disabled Always been labeled Home was not stable Elders set in their ways They want to lock us away Can't teach old dogs new tricks Christopher, Seth and Dion Blacks disabled boys can't grow up to be Black disabled men Buried in mainstream news Buried in the community Can't breath, can't hear, can't see Layer after layer Ism after ism Wrapped up like a mummy Buried voices are singing in the cemetery voicing their short and painful history...
