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
