Words on a Page
Can you tell my race from these words on a page?
These words on a page are not racialy made.
They're skillfully written, carefully thought out.
Strategically put in place as my mind roams about.
Can you tell my race from these words on a page?
These words on a page do not include slang.
Slang that is expected from the race I am made.
But my race does not determine the words that I say.
I say what I learn, I say what know.
That is quite well depicted from the words that I show.
Can you tell my race from these words on a page?
Through these word on a page, is my diction the right gauge?
