I'm A Human Being
No such thing as segregation, then why allow a color that isn't even there divide and conquer.
Relive the 80’s of the lynchings.
Niggas being sold. Beaners sent back.
Do you feel relieved yet ?
Segregation is this nation's go to when threatened.
Beaten to death is the go to.
Gunned down is the go to.
Tie the noose around my neck for being brown.
Put me on the news for being a dead brown boy.
Never because I'm a human being.
Barriers that limit our evolution.
Animals that don't receive equality because of intelligence.
Human beings that don't receive equality because of color.
Boredom kills so I'll just go scare some white people by carrying a skittle bag in my pocket because I'm black.
Being black means attracting cops with guns drawn ready to shoot.
Being brown means extracted back into a corrupted Narco country.
Being black means attacking white men.
Being brown means you can't have a beard because it's terrorism.
But being white means everything.
And a human being means nothing.
