An anti-racist view of a man torn by one woman's arrogance. |
Honestly Tell me why I should care That I can't Comprehend Your desire To offend Me though I Always try Not to cry As you point And you laugh At the fact That I'm black Cause I'm not Good enough To withstand What you can Or transcend All of the Prejudice That the world Casts on us Simply It is a Label that Tells the world That I will Probably Most likely Indef- Initely Forget my Family Because that's The conflict And I'm not A convict Although I Must admit That I thought We were friends Sadly then In the end You pretend That you don't Want me dead Even though What you must Realize Is that you Can't disguise All the lies In your eyes You despise Hate the man Who I am Cause I'm tan More so than Any man Who you let Take your hand But I don't Really mind Cause you'll find That I'm kind Just when I'm Out of time As I reach For the knife So I can End this life With a halt This assault By default Is your fault But I can't No I shan't E'r submit Nor commit To your hate Because fate Made me great So I can Rise again To the man Who could not Give a thought To the words Meant to turn My body Completely Against my Mind but theres Somebody Who wants me Simply Cause I'm me |
