Black boy Have you found yourself That you have been searching for Are you still questioning your genes The color of your skin Your ***** hair Your full lips Are you still questioning why they call you ****** Beat you Mistreat you Hung you Black boy Have you found yourself That you have been searching for Cause I still can’t find me Beneath this shadow of darkness This cruel decomposition of myself This king that I’m supposed to be But now reduced to dirt Ashes Black boy Have you found yourself That you have been searching for Cause when you do Let me know Cause I need to find me too

Black Boy
Black boy Have you found yourself That you have been searching for Are you still questioning your genes The color of your skin Your ***** hair Your full lips Are you still questioning why they call you ****** Beat you Mistreat you Hung you Black boy Have you found yourself That you have been searching for Cause I still can’t find me Beneath this shadow of darkness This cruel decomposition of myself This king that I’m supposed to be But now reduced to dirt Ashes Black boy Have you found yourself That you have been searching for Cause when you do Let me know Cause I need to find me too
