It Was Never About Color


They smile for a dollar Turn away from a dime Have an appointment with the boss For them, don’t have the time No gold, no silver The diamond in the rough Not worth the time Be open, be mindful Smile for them Them, with the history Them, who reached Not for the shade But for the diamond in their pocket
