Listen​ ​to​ ​these​ ​words​ ​i'm​ ​about​ ​to​ ​speak
For​ ​if​ ​you​ ​listen​ ​closely​ ​you’ll​ ​see​ ​more​ ​than​ ​the​ ​color​ ​of​ ​our​ ​skin
I'm​ ​black​ ​(obviously)
And​ ​i'm​ ​not​ ​proud​ ​of​ ​the​ ​choices​ ​of​ ​the​ ​black​ ​community
For​ ​their​ ​mistakes​ ​has​ ​changed​ ​the​ ​way​ ​you​ ​look​ ​at​ ​me
For​ ​they​ ​have​ ​made​ ​your​ ​eyes​ ​to​ ​camouflage​ ​me
With​ ​the​ ​color​ ​folks
Color​ ​doesn't​ ​tell​ ​you​ ​who​ ​i​ ​am
Or
What​ ​i​ ​am
Just​ ​because​ ​our​ ​skin​ ​is​ ​the​ ​same
Doesn't mean
Our​ ​futer​ ​is​ ​not​ ​ ​identical
For​ ​every​ ​person​ ​is​ ​not​ ​the​ ​same
For​ ​we​ ​all​ ​have​ ​dreams​ ​and​ ​wishes
Don’t​ ​blame​ ​us
For​ ​the​ ​people​ ​of​ ​our​ ​skin​ ​had​ ​different​ ​values​ ​within
For​ ​muslims​ ​are​ ​not​ ​the​ ​same​ ​just​ ​because​ ​one decided to have a  ​bomb to release
Doesn't​ ​mean​ ​They​ ​all​ is
Font you believe
For​ ​the​ ​soil​ ​that​ ​you're​ ​standing​ ​on
Was​ ​built​ ​with​ ​sweat​ ​and​ ​tears
From​ ​people​ ​of​ ​different​ ​colors
From people from different nations coming to make one
For​ ​our​ ​color​ ​don’t​ ​define​ ​the​ ​souls​ ​within
For​ ​our​ ​color​ ​is​ ​more​ ​than​ ​scars​ ​they​ ​left​ ​behind
For​ ​our​ ​color​ ​don't​ ​define​ ​who​ ​we​ ​are
And
My​ ​Color​ ​is​ ​not​ ​gonna​ ​define​ ​me
