From the Eyes of Brown

Am i just a kid trying to get a nut
Or a kid who loves to eat candy with my friends until i'm sick in the gut
A black up north girl addicted to the sunshine
Believing the world is mine
I can walk down the street with my head held high
Everybody can see why
Skin brown and beautiful
These feeling are real and unconditional
Don't let no one hold you back
A race of fly and smart people is a fact
I'm so proud of my people we come so far
To all my fellow brothers and sisters be proud of who you are
