President is Black


There's no one keeping you down he says because the President is Black You don't need a scholarship for your melanin because the President is Black He tells me I live a comfortable life And now for the first time in history it is inconvenient to be a white male His cyan eyes grab me by the collar and shout STOP BEING OPPRESSED He spent all his life apologizing and now he's angry Angry with me Because our President is Black
