Held breathe
Racing pulse
Sweat trickle
Tears rolling
Shivered body
I couldn't hold back
I tried to but am sorry
For black is dark
Heart that hurts
All that I feel inside
I can't lie but my fears
Forced me to
My fears, of the brutal society
My fears, from the family ignorance
For being black, you're strong
Tears are White's understanding
Tears are weakness
For being black, you lack
The rights of opinion
The rights of knowledge
For being black, you submit
To your masters needs
To your daily routine of molestation
For being black, you are stupid
There's nothing you know nor heard
There's nothing you tell off tale
For being black, you are cursed
But don't worry, the sun will rise
And we will try
