What must I do,
To convey to you,
That I’m human too,
Try to change my hue?
And even if I could,
What makes you think I would?
If you understood
All God makes is good

The color of the skin
That I’m living in,
Doesn’t dictate then
When, or if I can
Live like other men
With the equality
That was ordained for me
Wouldn’t you agree?

Come on, use your head
Once it’s done and said,
Don’t we all bleed red?
And those who die are dead
What separates us then
Is not the color of our skin
Like some of us pretend
And others will contend

See my main intent
Or basic argument
For the time I’ve spent
Working on content
Is so we’ll realize
We're equal in God’s Eyes
And that we have to rise
Beyond our tribal ties
