Its kinda strange, isn't it To behave a certain way coz of pigment Like our skin gives fulfillment Or the right to place judgment Yeah, he never struggled in life he actually loves it All his bills paid on time Not a single misdemeanor or a crime He never had to think twice Before making a choice That could change lives Is it really coz those blue eyes Mines are brown like mud pies He never had to be afraid in the daytime But when the sunsets Thats when they call us a dark threat, I saw my brother get arrested over nothing Just coz he was running in the projects The witness told the cops it was not him But the cops didn't listen This man was a Christian He never lifted a finger in the wrong direction But right then and there his skin color became a reason for aggression, Then, our landlord decided that was a good reason for eviction Had our mom crying in the kitchen trying to explain that we were just playing manhunt then a cop pulled up guns out, screaming, get down. We were only kids too 15 to 19, so excuse me Mr white T If I walk around like nobody likes me This what they all teach πŸ§’πŸ§’πŸ»πŸ§’πŸΌπŸ§’πŸ½πŸ§’πŸΎπŸ§’πŸΏ And I ain't even black Maybe only half Im a light skin puerto rican But it doesn't mean we lack that special kind of treatment.. So tell me what the problem is Coz we should be united Why the **** we fighting They keeping us divided Hoping we dont take stand or even think to try it Every race has a little hate Every character isnt gonna be the same So why they keep putting us to shame If a white man commits a crime The TV simply states a man did this and that But let the pigment change and they gotta mention he was black. So excuse my racist protest I just dont like this racist bulshit Tell the world the man's Hispanic Twist the story, cause some damage, But we all know who the savage is Stolen land mass shootings that blood is on your hands Brother man Call them out thats what im about give a **** if they want to shoot me down. Shot me now before another word leaves out my mouth. πŸ’₯πŸ’₯πŸ’₯πŸ’£ They say the truth hurts, and it's why we live in a world of lies, but I say let that **** hurt and maybe then together we survive.
