Differences Difference Is

Differences; Difference Is
  Some call it interracial some call it jungle fever
Difference between you and them is your love grows hotter than fall heaters
  To you its beautiful to them it's unheard of
They ask you why can't you do what every one else does
And that's because of your differences
  Difference is it's your world against what they say
Walk their path or live life your own way
  Don't adjust the color let them see the light
It's about your own happiness and the flavors you like
  It's all an equation but color shouldn't be variable
Evil resides in the mind set so others are always unstable
  To you it ain't no thing to them it's an sin number 11
People seen to desert you as if forgotten on an isle
In time they may see the error of their ways
Until then guard ya mind against the worlds that they say
  Live the way you live
Thrive above the view and the lies
Disregard the color and hold your love above it all
