Brown Boy, White Boy

Throw some words, start a fight

There's nothing more to say tonight.

'Cause we all know who got the blame,

And it wasn't the white boy who lost the game.

 

'Cause brown skin attracts glares.

Brown boy in trouble?

No one cares.

He did no wrong, but

They don't see.

All they know is what they believe,

And they believe that we're all alike.

That we're all criminals and should be treated as like.

 

But they forgot one little thing.

The truth will come out,

And Brown boy

Will be set free.
