Burden

I’m witnessing this racism That’s right in front of me Or am I just insane? Maybe I’m being paranoid? Others tell me to get over it So ignorant that you don’t understand We don’t share the same skin tone You don’t understand what I gotta go through You can’t tell me to deal with it When it‘s out there tryna kill me Unlike you I can’t wake up And shrug it off There’s some stuff I wanna Change Maybe it sounds impossible But who’s gonna do it When no one started it We can’t have one discussion And completely forget about it You can’t say you’re with us When you don’t stay for the journey
