I’m Black
I’m White

oh wait

Take a moment to think
Like what does he mean

I’m in between
Both colors

oh wait

Well not anymore
That’s the old me

I refuse to paint
That way anymore

oh wait

You understand now
What’s right is right
And what’s wrong is wrong

I’m no longer willing
To bend the truth

don’t wait

I couldn’t be more sincere
I’m tired of living in fear

right now

I’ve decided it’s time
To make a change
I must be honest with myself

no longer

Am I willing to hide
Within the spectrum

of color

It’s plain and simple
Good or bad intentions

pick one

Well moving forward
Good is my only decision

i might

Slip up but
I’m not perfect

i promise

Back in the day
I used to claim

i was

Back in the gray
Where I was from

that was

The worst place
To ever be

In between  

The lies and the truth
Playing the sides

not anymore

I’m refusing moving forward
To be that guy anymore

I am

Black and White
Moving forward

what’s right

Is the only thing
That matters

I am

Slowly changing
Working harder

getting values

I couldn’t
Feel better

The threat
to relapse

No longer
a concern

I rather fight
and earn

The right
to deserve

To be
a better

MAN
