Don't want to say it's true
I cannot deny you
don't say hi back
how rude
what did I do to you?
belittled because of color
but we are all connected
we are sisters and brother
So many stares
I don't want to be compared to your race
We all live in the same place
I don't want your negativity
to get to me
or get into me
I'm trying to overlook this
but I still don't feel free
why me
why us
those times have passed
I no longer sit in the back of the bus
although you want me too
You will never be true
money rules all
still every time I watch you fall
now we get the call
but we still get disrespected
trying not to let us affect us
but it doesn't stop it from happening
or overlapping through the next
we are continually pushed
trying to pass the test
at best
I am not like all the rest
or so they say
hard to hold on
but I'm not going no where
We all are part of the human race
some don't see it that way
others don't even care
