Black or White?


Black or white? Was the question The most important That kept the people guessing What made us different The color of our skin The fact that we are human Or that we don't blend in Black or white? Men are created equal There is still a barrier The white men hold the power Blacks don't know what's scarier Black or white? Who can vote The people must decide Blacks don't have that right The Constitution lied Our brothers and sisters Who have joined us in the fight Have brought us closer to freedom And make the system right We now have the rights That blacks and whites do Men are now created equal And the Constitution is true
