Brown drowns out everything Or in this case black Because that's all they'll ever see you as How pathetic is it? That they'll never know what it's like to grow up, everyone hating you That the whites hate you, hispanics hate you, asians hate you Even your own **** people can't stand you Every single race on this pathetic earth hates you black drowns out everything When your parents created you, they mixed in too much And the black overtook the brown It's in your hair It's in your lips It's in you. It will never matter how light you are How perfect your skin matches against theirs It doesn't matter if you constantly avoid he sun to maintain your "real tone" It doesn't matter if you get a hundred relaxers It doesn't matter if you're the same color or have the same accent You don't know their language. It doesn't belong to you anymore. It never did All that matters is your hair your nose your lips are they of a Hispanic? Forget that. Are they of a Europeans? It's obvious. what the world wants you to be It's on the tickets when you're testing On the paperwork you sign It's everywhere You're black You don't even get the privilege of claiming your other half Half isn't real. It would be so easy just to blame your mother to say, "if you had taught me Spanish, they wouldn't treat me like trash" But that wouldn't fix anything Because black drowns out the brown They will never get it How it feels to have them throw the n word at you like it's nothing To hear, "I have the pass because I'm Hispanic" over and over again To be compared to a ******* animal They won't ever know what it's like, growing out of touch with a friend because their family is racist They'll never know Because we live in Florida And Hispanic is the new white
