By: Cedric McClester He don’t have a clue But says he’s blacker than you And while it might be true Cuz there’s another way he grew That tested his metal He grew up in the ghetto In a single parent home By himself all alone It was like day and night Even though you both are bright But it’s true you grew up white And your mother took a flight But she did her best to please ya Rearing you in Indonesia With an Indonesian mister The father of your sister And it looks like he will fail On the presidential trail But he took time to assail You are not a true black male Because in his sight Your mother was white And although that’s all right You lack true black insight He’s entitled to his opinion But it doesn’t have dominion Cuz his father was a Kenyon So his head right now is spinning Because he can relate Having also dealt with hate And I need to also state It’s still an ongoing debate Cedric McClester, Copyright © 2016.
