Just because I'm black


Just because I’m black 
 
Doesn’t mean I’m on crack 
 
Doesn’t mean I'm differnet 
 
Doesn’t mean I’m failing
 
Just because I’m black 
 
Doesn’t mean I have no education 
 
Doesn’t mean I’m going to rehab 
 
Doesn’t mean I’m going to end up in jail
 
Just because I’m black 
 
Doesn’t mean I’m going to be kicked out of school
 
Doesn’t mean I’m going to rob a bank
 
Doesn’t mean I’m poor
 
Just because I’m black 
 
Why do you get accuse things on me 
 
Why say it’s me is it because I’m black
