Who Do You Say I Am:

CATEGORY

Who do you say I am?

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

looking poor, ignorant, criminal minded, and meek.

Who do you say 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 that's right.

Who do you say I am?

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

to cheat on everything about us including my life.

Who do you say 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 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 I am?

I am the black boy who speaks to the Lord above on bending knees

and with him by my side, I know I will succeed!!!!!
