The City in the 70s Things painted diversely Yet discrimination runs deep A mother out to buy ice cream English a foreign notion Coming to the store One pint of ice cream at the counter Unable to converse Chinese not understood "That will be $50 he says" Takes the money Shamelessly As she leaves Ice cream for her son Her son who did then weep The character of a person He knew Defined by their actions The seeds that you sow Are the ones that you shall reap

Ben and Jerry Outside Chinatown
The City in the 70s Things painted diversely Yet discrimination runs deep A mother out to buy ice cream English a foreign notion Coming to the store One pint of ice cream at the counter Unable to converse Chinese not understood "That will be $50 he says" Takes the money Shamelessly As she leaves Ice cream for her son Her son who did then weep The character of a person He knew Defined by their actions The seeds that you sow Are the ones that you shall reap
