We will always be racing
In black and White
Jungle fever spreads like disease
But racism we cannot fight

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

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

The KKK took something away
And rose up fear in out hearts
But all that’s 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 formality

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