Blackface

Blackface By Valerie Odom March 24, 2017 Blackface White man down Black paint Yell our race, stand in the crowd While you screaming “All Live Matter” Our men being shot to the ground Blackface But you got white lips Blackface Why you making your white supremacy the top of the list? Blackface You tryna catch these hands? Cus’ you can catch me outside Take that black paint off Man You’re a fool The disrespect is on 10 Claim you’re just having fun These lies needa end I’m tired of the mistreat I just only want peace Next time I see you with that black paint on It’s finna be a rumble in the streets
