Don't Hate Your Race


I used to think that I was dumb

Nothing more than chewed gum

 


People would say that I did not deserve to live

But I did not hate I learned to love and give

 

Discrimination at it's worst

Where you feel like you are about to burst

 

I learned I am more that what they think

I am beautiful

And I am trying to be truthful

 

And to tell you don't think you are worthless

Look underneath your surface
