Not meant to offend, Talking about equality and racism.
Look into my eyes, what do you see
A scared little boy, struggling to be free
I see the world for what it is, racist it will always be
Slavery has ended, but we'll never have equality
Why must a child suffer, for something he's never done
Being punished when all of this started, before his life begun
So I lay on my back, as those white men pulled the trigger
A nine year old child, but all they seen was a nigger.
