The struggling feeling of Africans when captured
We were in our homes
Being happy with the people we love
Happily enjoying our lives without any regrets
Then one day we were captured
People came and enslaved us
Put us in cargo ships
Separated us from our families
And brought us to America
We were sold in the Markets like dogs
We were treated with disrespect
For the color of our skins
They tortured us from day and night
We would think all day
If anyone would come and save us
Until the day we die
