My Life in Black

 

My life is being born black don’t smoke crack or none of the jack. But why do I have to be labeled as a threat because of the garment I’m wearing that you don’t accept or an expensive property that I own you thought it was robbed.

 

I’m never heard as I speak and the only way I speak is that we have to say YESSIR to you and you don’t respect us at all.

 

I can’t even say “I GOT MY HANDS UP” because you might shoot me if I say that line  but the smartest thing I can do is just to stay quiet and take it.

 

Words can’t explain how I feel living in a harsh nation where you can’t walk freely without being a threat.

 

Red light, blue light 123 and we get scared when we hear them and run. Oh I don’t think so but, if we do we might get vanished and hang us up on the wall like the KKK do to us. 

 

How many times I have to work to get respected?

How many times I have to show my kindness before y’all get the big picture?

 

Your buddy up in Yonkers pulled out his taser on me before I was able to get on the ground because of my anger instead of telling me to go home. All I’m saying this is my life in Black
