Discrimination


Yell at me, throw stuff at me I am allowed here Don't point over there Just because a word separates us We are the same I want to order some- Ow! That hurt. I won't back down. I won't leave this bar. I may not talk to you I can only think in my head Now bottles are being thrown at me I will not leave I will not hurt you like you hurt me You can call me names negro, its just a word I won't call you things Not today. Today I stand up for people who you discriminate becauseof one word Today WE make history Today you will learn That we are equals Civil war
