Being Black
Having Obama for president
most people don't get.
But when 60 yeats ago blacks were barely people
this is quite a difference.
Witht he murders, protests and riots
you still don't understand.
They say we're just angry
but really we're just scared.
Cause 60 years ago my people were nonchalantly murdered,
in the streets and in homes,
men, women, and children,
because of their skin tone.
So no calling us the "n word" is not okay
when you don't know how the word brings memories of discrimination and pain.
You must be thinking "whatever she wasn't alive,"
but at I have grandparetns with scars from bottles and knives.
So I told you my side but dont think you understand
so before you open your mouth and say something ignorant
remember what I said.
