BB(Being Black)

Sun, 01/13/2019 - 11:57 -- msa139

Being black in America
Not understanding the norm
This barrier to overcome
Grab the bull by the horns
Consequences will come

Disadvantages we know
America's favorite jokes
View us as poor folks
Promises we were told
Actually was pretense hope

Doubtful intelligence
Bars of ignorance
Making us feel less
We are society's roaches
There they go with the wrong approach

Eager to see us in humiliation
Everywhere, there's a ridiculous regulation
Slavery still lives
Athletes they assume we'll be
Disturb from being notified as a nigga
We are main targets of America's triggers
