The Light

March 9, 2013
They say we have the right to be civil The right to be right But not the right to be white The right to be different The right to be cool But not the right to rule My God is white and so is my soul But the god of inequality is black as coal Don’t say I’m wrong Cuz Lord knows I’m right My skin may be darkness But I walk in the light
