Color
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
