What Am I To Do?

What am I to do?

When this place is tainted with hatred for me?

As I walk the streets, people shy away from me,

Cuz it's dark out and cuz of my complextion, 

You dont say it but I think I get the message.

What am I to do?

When you frown on me?

Think it's cool cuz you're speaking with derogotory - terms,

As if you didn't learn from the past,

We had a dream! We need to make it last...

What am I to do?

Can you please tell me?

You have me sulking in my pain...

Can you please help me?

I'm tryna make a change and push through, and I'm hoping that you make a change too.

What am I to do?

What am I to do?

Can you please tell me? What am I to do?

What am I to do?

Can you please help me? What am I to do?

I'm tryna make a change and push through, and I'm hoping that you make a change too.

What Am I To Do?
