To Be
to be human you assume to be
all that you can be
can you please tell me
can you be civil to thee
can we all get along
or do we sing that same old song
everyone belongs to earth
so what is a black man worth
I had my hands up and got shot
I bought skittles still got popped
do I really belong
being black is that really wrong
I took a look at my life and its dim
im really just living on a wim
to be stuck in this sin
born black im never going to win
