the "N" word

1. I am a black man with a name

2. I am an educated black man with a name

3. My name and that "N" word is not the same

4. Ancestors has fought for years for this day to come

5. Finally freedom but freedom is still not enough

6. We show people of our own kind more hate than we show love

7. Our actions and the statistics are only giving society a reason why they should blame it all on us

8. The slang we use and the problems we create only shows our ignorance

9. Thats why everytime one of us gets in trouble it is no significance

10. Wake up everybody we need to create peace for the next generation

11. Dreams feel impossible

12. But anything is possible through faith and patience.
