We will always be racing
In black and White
Jungle feaver spreds like disease
But racisum we cannot fight

Oreos and Wiggers
They're all just name brands
A bad way of intergration
But no one's got bigger plans

Its all come down to this
The steryotypes are real
But because slavery was so hard
Colored wonds cannot heal

The KKK took something away
And rose up fear in out hearts
But all thats left of those captured souls
are burnt up colored parts

The wall of color built higher then ever
Our suffering only fractions of reality
But our differences hating us
And we can't fit into the other's formaility

Hot combs in our nappy hair
Our roots straighting out
But people with color blind eyes
Is a dream i highly doubt

wow amazing prospect. yes, we all now it's there but no body wants to say it and i'm glad you did. it's true although no body wants to admit hey i am racist although a lot of people are. you wrote this very well not an easy subject to get people to understand the harshness of it...
