What do I weigh? I weigh the responsibility of my ancestors for what they did to those of a different color I weigh down the cons from the pros I weigh the burden of what society says is ideal for me I weigh the opinion of you, then I choose to ignore it I weigh more than you can carry But I will carry myself Through the tricky path you’ve never bothered to help me clear For you have never had to walk it I will leave it clear for future generations to map out So they will never weigh what I do
