Prince charming riding in On his white horse A prince for a princess Well yeah of course… They say that if you pray To God above A prince will arrive and You he will love…. So American girls Dream of their prince From their second birthday And onward since As these girls get older They learn a lot Lectures and silent words Lessons they’re taught Well one silent message I never heard Is one apparently I should’ve learned A prince for a princess That sounds correct So why my prince Do my teachers reject? Well this girl never dreamed In black and white Which apparentlys not Considered right A blonde girl, a blonde prince Why should that be? Because my dark skinned prince Makes me happy His eyes are indeed brown Yes mine are blue Tell me, if I don’t care Then why should you? Treat everyone equal They always said I guess between the lines I should’ve read The say diff’rent attracts, And yet they say Our love isn’t natural My heart wont sway. Opposing binaries Wrong over right Rich is better than poor black against white Hate’s not in remission At least not here Maybe someday our love Won’t make them fear. |
