Humanity (Rant On Being A Double Minority)


Everyday we live our lives in dichotomy Will my decisions be wrong or right Straight or gay, fat or skinny, black or white If only things could be this obvious Trayvon was killed, and he walked Right or wrong? The jury chose the earlier My life is an abomination, at least in their minds Wrong or right? Some let that book decide They say im wrong for loving my kind But wasn't that rule made by man, and doesnt man lie? Ive cried because black and gay is like two strikes Abnormal, the faggots, and the dykes But throught it all, battle scars involved Ive learned I am my own god I dont mean I created it all I mean I do what I want, when I want it, I control me Ironically, human nature to nuturing human: dichotomy I never understood why one mans ideology rules all Wouldn't a wise man find flaws in them all? But that's life, better yet humanity Right is what you can get away with Wrong can be masked with vanity No one, though, wants to believe The number one dichotomy Humanity Is a "human" right if it's white. my tone, hell no Is a human hetero for the win, and homos lose it all Maybe its all in my head, its all ok To be in america, black and gay Though my family discriminates And my "masters" covertly hate Life is so ironic They hate me, they hate us But that's life Humanity = the smartest form Guess life is dumb life without balance would bore But I swear, it's all hate, no love after war They want my left and my right dead Good luck with that Im stronger Because the irony, though they dont see it the same Humanity adapts to change, and I learn everyday
