Bad To Be Black?

You say you are not a racist You say I'm black too Yet you give the light-skinned the power And the dark-skinned the boot You call me stand up against injustice "We have rights too" I think, "Oh the irony " Look at you Has the early days of slavery made you think white is better The light girl is our future The dark girl, forget her Whatever happened to the blacker the better It must have got lost in the times Or buried somewhere deep in our subconscious minds So that is the way it is What are you going to do? I'll just be me and you be you.
