Hate Me but I am Human

Hate Me Judge Me Threaten Me Beat Me Lessen Me Fear Me You’ve never known me Black White Mexican Asian Indian Arabian Everyone is different So what makes one race better? I’ll have to show you who I am I know you aren’t listening And I know you don’t want to But I’ll make you listen Sit Wait Sit Wait I’ll be at the Woolworth’s lunch counter On those ‘White Only’ chairs Waiting to be served like all the rest, Served a platter of my Civil rights Because I’m a person as equal as any Sit Ride I’m on my way to Freedom Avenue I’ll be in the first seat, won’t see me in the back From Anniston and Birmingham to Montgomery, Into Mississippi, down to the Sunshine state I’ll lose friends along the way I may even lose myself, But the ride is good The ride must go on Cry Bleed Breath Live There’s a glimpse of hope after all, I see it! Their hating us for showing them what they know, Deep down inside. Everyone is a human being
