Would You

If I told you I was black Would you run away far? Would you hate me Because I'm not like you are? If I said I was mixed Would you look away and say ew? Would you tease me and call me names Because I'm not like you? Now that you know I'm different When you have a party would you invite me? Or would you just lie to my face And still pretend that you're sorry? There's so many bad people in this world That it's hard to see the ones that are good Would yu judge me by the colour of my skin Or by what's inside like you should?
