Where Do I Fall


In a second life changes 


One minute your here and the next minute your gone 


With on shot 


With one bang 


With one crack of pain 


My life could be ended

 
With nothing more to shame 


No one to blame because the power within me


 

Didn't choose this game 


This game of color 


This game of hurt 


This game of never ending pain


This game the white may call a colored mans game 


Pick me i will sacrifice my body 

Pick me 

Pick me

So where do I fall

When will this game end
