This Nation

This nation meant for our people

My people

Teeter

Between the dark and light

But these people

Are my people

All the same

These people judge

You for your outside

Appearance

Judge you for things

You might not do

Hold a grudge when you

Aren't how they want you to be

But this nation holds you

And this nation holds me

A nation of racial disturbance

That causes turbulence

In my people's hearts

Look at other races

Like get out my face and

Don't ever look at me like that again

Just cause you don't like the

Melanin in my skin

But we are related in this

Nation
