There is no more honey.
There is no more milk.
There's just callosities and money.
There's no flag, no stars, no blue and no red and white stripes.
There's just a land that is sick.
If you are a woman you are black.
If you are a child you are black.
If you can't vote you are black.
If your pocket is a 4 hours job but you work 10 hours per day you are the blackest.
If you got money you ain't black no more.
If you can't afford an illness you are black.
If you can't pay your rent you are black.
If you ride the horse you ain't black.
But if you feed that horse you are black.
If you bleed 3 to 5 days a week minimum, you are black.
If you are mexican in the freedom land probably you are black.
If you are poor you are black.
If you're not poor but your collar is blue you are black.
If you're not poor but your collar is white you are black too.
If you are a cop you can't be black or not to be black because you are just a tool and tools have no race.
If you can't be free you are black.
If not being free you got rebellion on your mind, war in your soul and sweat in your heart you are black.
The world ain't black but is rotating black.
Wait for the night and dream with other face, other house, other body, other car, other wife or husband, other kids or no kids, dream with more wealth, better health. Dream with the beach.
Hey fella, dream quickly there is just 2 hours left for the alarm ringing.
Sweet dreams black.
