Race
A trait that drives people to hate
Only few will embrace
The rest discriminate
Because of ignorance
Who we are leaves a scar
We thought we came so far
Just to still be sub par
In the eyes of the society
Black people equal poverty
A step below humanity
They say we lack propriety
MLK's vision
His attempt to end division
Never truly came to life
'Cause we're continuing to fight
Amongst our own
Against the others
Taking children from their mothers
Many fathers live in jail
We blame the system
Say it failed
How we gonna rise?
Wipe the tears from your eyes
Lift your head to the skies
Time to say your good byes
To the hatred to the fear
Stop hiding behind pain
How would you want to be treated?
Treat all people the same
Or again we'll be defeated
Only we are to blame.
We're not a Black America
Our country's full of color
Don't be so quick to judge
Instead of hating, love each other.
