The Colored Life

    The Colored Life
 
Today’s Wednesday 
But it’s not just a regular day
Today’s national racism awareness day
Not really but I do have something to say.
 
    You ever walk into a store and get a funny look
 You ever have someone look at you like a crook 
Always walking out the house and worrying about your image
If you don’t have to worry about this then you’re probably privileged.
 
   Every race can say one has it harder than the other 
But The main goal should be able to live with and love one another!
