Black Faces
I can't be part of the conversation
Cause I always go mute
Every time they bring up the conversation
For why would I speak to them yet they call me a brute
They've already labelled the world black and white
And the white pieces always have the first move
So why would I use my only moves to only write
Myself more hate cause I'm afraid of making a wrong move
I hence chose to be deep in the silence
The silence of the injustices on us
Choosing to fight for sheer existence
Cause I can only count for change from us
That's why I'd chose everyday to be with people like me
Around the love that doesn't change with phases
That everywhere I look its people who are like me
With smiles the only things brightening our faces
