The white is better than the black
The white shines brighter than the black that never beams.
How dare you tell the boy
He amounts to nothing
That he weighs more than a bulldog
But must bark like one in order to matter
How dare you tell the boy
He should not have been nervous
Just because I'm black society judges me
But the whiter and lighter gets put above
Saying we're equal but we're not the same
Do my eyes decieve me ?
or is it that we live in a destructive country ?
that's what I'm trying to figure out
how can our country get better with closed mouths ?
instead of perservering as one
Words
You use the word nigga
that doesn't make sense
Oh I'm too tense
but if I have to say that
It's fine if I don't fit in
You use the word nigga
where's it from?
It's a known
They sit there silentWaiting for a chance to speakTheir wallets staying empty Because of a law that must change
Hundreds maybe thousandsThey all stand there strandedNo workNo jobNo school
America is,
Land of the free,
Home of the brave.
Speak up America!
Break down the cultural barriers that have held us so long,
Embrace your brothers and sisters.
