Biracial Anthem

White skin Black blood Devil's curls Eyes that pierce You couldn't pick me from the crowd And say that I was black But I'll be damn sure, you're aware of that I've got a chip on my shoulder With a furrowed brow And vendettas whispered from the graves Silence was compliance Now I'm screaming loud
