There's No Place For Prejudice In My Heart-
believe it or not I love everybody
I come from a long line of constraints
I am often told what I can and can't
Yet still I love everybody
Respectively I deplete deploring circumstances
That's got me embraced I am conditioned and treated by the color of my face
Repertoire
Can ignore the realities everyone does not like me
isn't against me
You dislike me because I'm different than you
This is your point of view
Construed, miscued
Some relish in prejudice
For it's the few that confounds and contains me
This is the racial reality
For you see prejudice there's no place here for you in me
You see in spite of this I still love everybody
And I grieve the few and hatred
with a Holy kiss
I love everybody
There's no room for prejudice in my heart
