Passin
light bright damn near white
your wavy hair your pride
been educated by the best
so self-assured inside
you party with the socialites
vacation with the best
accepted, 'least, by liberal whites
passed all the social tests
though, you don't sweep their bathroom floors
please don't get it confused
when slurs are flung behind closed doors
YOU still a ni**a, too
