Our Soles

Our team has won
Beyond refuse
Your racist chirps
Are all reused
My skin is black
There's no deny
But you'd love to have me
On your team's side
Your chirps grew louder
With every goal
But our skin's the same
Within our soles
You see our skin
But not our hearts
Judge for what's within
Not our outmost parts
