Paint the White Walls
Grab your ethnicity and splatter the generations all over the blank wall
Paint our beliefs into your image, show your chauvinism when it's finished
Add a bit of melanin on the edge of the outraged
Don't pay no mind to how wide the hate is
Make your mark as a minority and say you made it
This is revolutionary, this is not mometarily
Remind them that we appreciate the burden they say we carry
