All You Desire


Can I be all that you desire 

See I know my skin tone 

Frightens you but my 

Intellect desires you 

I'm not trying to get at 

You but my mind has 

A thing or two for you 

So can I be all you desire 

Pardon me  sorry your so frighten

By my skin tone dark as mud 

Light as sand see my hands 

They are destined to make you understand that I'm just a man 

See I'm trying to show you 

I'm just a frighten as you 

Lost for when I see the men in blue 

Lost for words cause my people where beating beaten blue 

Gun down for even looking at you 

So I ask does my skin ton frighten you 

Does my athletic abilities and deep masculine voice frighten you 

Because I'm scared too 

Ever walk into a restaurant 

Fine with exquisite fine dine 

And a different race state at you 

How dare you let the color of my skin frighten you 

When I'm just ask scared as you
