By the Color of Our Skin


Some people think that all we do is  Fight, lie, and steal But we all aren't like that  We are a very intelligent people that love to learn Learning Algebra is very interesting to me Some just don't see that  Some people think all we do is Make noise and cause chaos But we all aren't like that  We don't mind interesting conversations  Talking to the old timers about their experiences  Some just don't see that Some people think that we are all  Part of the drug game But we all aren't like that  Some would rather play a friendly game of football  Than making a quick buck  Some just don't see that My ambition is to silence the critics By letting my degree sing my success
