Oridinary White Boy
Look, what do you see?
Do you think I judge you
Like you do me?
There are things I wish I could do
But feel helpless when I'm around
Witnessing struggle, violence, turmoil
Police brutality, and hate crimes, but it’s like no one hears a sound
See the gunshot… the cock back of the coil
This may sound cliche…
As children we are told America is the land of the free
But does that apply to all?
People act like race isn't something they see
But do they say that help themselves not take the fall?
Bigotry and racism are topics that warrant conversation
I want us as a society to progress
How can we do that, if African-Americans feel like they are back during segregation
Or Muslims feel persecuted due to their religion, I dont have the answers i must confess
But it’s a question I pose to everyone.
This is not a secret agenda or a some sort of ploy,
I won’t stop fighting until justice and unity has won
But in the end this is just the thoughts of a ordinary white boy.
