Analysis of Disgrace
shakira ross 1979 (Bronx)
Full of hate and disgrace
Words said behind your back and in your face
A family fallen from grace
A lifetime of hatred, envy, and despair
Instead of coming together they didn’t even care
Many lives have been sadden and full of rage
All this built up anger is shaking this cage
My voice will be heard from the closest to deepest range
This family needs a change
Wake up and let go of the past
We don’t know how long we will last
A families bond will not break
If you weed out all the worms and snakes
Forget and let go of all the hate and pride
For in the end there is only one side
