Who Can?

They say that I can’t ………………………….….….……… but who can? They say that they are the best…………….….….…….but they ain’t man! They are on the level of basic …………….………..…. I just can’t take it! They say I ain’t right……….…….…….....to hell with it I ain’t gone fight. They have all of the answers…………….….….…..but they haven’t a clue. They show and tell me what they want…………...……..…It’s so obvious. They say that I can’t ……………….………...because my face is caramel. They sneer up at me………………...….….…as if I have a skunk’s smell. They say that I can’t……. I’m yelling at you…….……....I didn’t stutter. They say that I can’t……. but I’m letting you know..… …...I’m qualified. They give me the blues…..I feel more intense than the color of their eyes. They say that I can’t ….….……..….but I wonder who will win the prize. They’ll then say that we thought she couldn’t do it. ….it was not in our will, But the fact that she did gives us ….….……..….……. an unbelievable thrill.
