Black power? no we have black flowers Because everyone’s beautiful, no matter the race If only there was a thing like a mental shower Clean out racism, get a change of pace We are a nation of discrimination We need to practice some elimination The stuff that we should eliminate It’s things that make us really irate The fact the no one loves thy neighbor Don’t wanna give out any favors Rather shoot guns than have some fun I’d rather make puns and go on a run Exercise and increase mental capacity Most people just don’t have the audacity To speak out against the black and blue Not the cops, but the kids hit with a shoe People need to find outlets for their anger Take flight like you’re leaving a hangar Anyone can go and reach the sky All you have to do is go ahead and try Let’s reach toward a common goal Encourage change in the U.S, choose right at the polls Is it weird that a white guy wrote this? I’m not white, just a young man wrote this “Oh, that kid is wise beyond his years” My age is not a measurement of my tears I’ve been through much even though I’m a tall white man I should be privileged right? That’s what you don’t understand Discrimination will end when race, *** and age just describe how you look Not a judge of how much you’ve hit the books Or how much illegal stuff you took Instead of being pawns we should be queens or rooks We are all just humans, born equal under the stars Once we learn that, we are going to go far Our progress has stopped because of stereotyping And our views have been skewed because of overhyping Media says something is great, everyone will believe It's hard to dodge hate, I have to bob and weave Work my way around any obstacles But if these barriers would go away, that would be optimal Religion and race aren’t anything but a face A front, to not leave a trace A trace of guilt for those who have killed People other than themselves, whenever they willed Just because someone looks different doesn't mean they aren't the same We were all born equal, until discrimination came Ever since the Twin Towers, we are afraid of Muslims Ever since Pearl Harbor, Americans hated the Japanese, and it puzzles them Why do Americans practice so much inequality? If you want some real talk, please call me I’ll say that I hate what our nation has become Since men enslaved other men, everyone is dumb They feel different types of people are worse than them This nation really needs a new hem Let us sew it with a different kind of fabric Cause the current one makes me mad sick White power? No, we have multicultural flowers Let's try to stop this world from going sour

Multicultural Flowers
