With THEY I am labeled Because they are to blame THEY make a noise THEY act like barbarians Pointed fingers are aimed at me THEY Scornful voices shout Why label me with such derogatory manner Black I am Proudly I pose No attempt you make to establish friendship Because of the dark flesh I wear And with THEY I am labeled My name is my identity Pronounce it with integrity My flesh is no different than yours Treat it with dignity Spontaneous I am But you will never know For you choose to label me with: THEY

THEY
With THEY I am labeled Because they are to blame THEY make a noise THEY act like barbarians Pointed fingers are aimed at me THEY Scornful voices shout Why label me with such derogatory manner Black I am Proudly I pose No attempt you make to establish friendship Because of the dark flesh I wear And with THEY I am labeled My name is my identity Pronounce it with integrity My flesh is no different than yours Treat it with dignity Spontaneous I am But you will never know For you choose to label me with: THEY
