WHO DO YOU SAY THAT I AM

CATEGORY

life

 Do you say that I am the black boy from across the street

looking poor, ignorant, criminal minded, and meek.

Who do you say that I am?

Do you say that I  am the black boy who will never succeed in life

thinking that stealing, killing and fighting is the only thing thats right.

Who do you say that I am?

Do you say that I am the black boy who cheats to get by,

to cheat on everything about us including life.

Who do you say that I am?

Do you say that I am the black boy who will never finish school

but drop out and go into society, and break every moral rule.

Who do you say that I am?

Do you say that I am the black boy and a real job I will never feel,

because I;m too blind to look beyond a white man's tobacco field.

Who do you say that I am?

I am the black boy who speaks to the lord above on bending knees, with him by my side

I know i will succeed!!!!

 (Dedicated to my friend Dupree)
