Lets start with something very popular I do not want to be another black statistic
See in the future
I want to be someone with something to eat
Somewhere to sleep
So that I wouldnt have to live on the street
Somewhere good to work
So I wouldnt have to steal to make ends meet
The colour of my skin is black but the colour of my heart is red
As I become darker I do not want to be dead
Whether it be by random target or a dealer in the drug market
I want to live
I want to be able to forgive
Someone for stepping on my shoe
Or for someone saying fuck you
I will not raise my right fist to hit someone
I will raise my hands in praise for I am God’s son.
I’ll live this life the righteous way
In order to stay
On this earth
Where My mother gave birth
To me
So I will be free
Not behind bars
Or the wheel of a stolen car
I will be free
Heart filled with glee
As I watch myself be Whatever I wish to be
