Jill couldn't stop thinking about the blacks she was just so hot and red so mad But she could never forget the feedback That morning, Jill was shocked by the sack She had to calm herself with a tread Jill couldn't stop thinking about the acts Those acts of violence against her African-American friends Later, Jill was spooked by a plaque She tried to focus on the sacks (over their heads) But she could never forget the feedback Boxes filled with rags Marching wit flags, White supremacist Jill took action like a crack The black was like a toxic head But she could never forget the feedback tried to distract her with a packs Said her mind had become too overhead Jill nosedived like a bad stack Her mind became dangerously dread By those people colored medium dark brown Jill couldn't stop thinking about the blacks But she could never forget the feedback Why? Her father was a southern governmental segregationist
