"THOSE NIGGERS DON'T BELONG HERE"
A WHOLE NEW WORLD
A BEAUTIFUL PLACE
BUT WITH UGLY PEOPLE
DEEP INSIDE I WALK THE LINE
THROUGH HELL!
WE DON'T LOOK OR ACT THE SAME
I FEEL TRAPPED INSIDE WITH NO WAY OUT
CRITICIZING AS THOUGH YOU'VE NEVER
SEEN ONE OF US BEFORE
GAWKING AS IF YOU CAN SEE OUR SOULS
FEELING ABANDONED AS THE SEA
SAME UNIVERSE
BUT DIVIDING INTO TWO WORLDS
WITH EACH COMMENT DISCRIMINATION EXPANDS
BROKEN HEAD LOWERED EYES
LOOKING IN DISGUST, SMILES TURNS INTO FROWNS.
YELLING!
CUSSING!
UNHAPPY ISN'T WHAT I EXPECTED TO FEEL
DEEP IN THOUGHT WONDERING IF I SHOULD LEAVE
INSTEAD OF STAYING&FEELING UNWANTED
NOT WANTING TO BE RUDE
I KEEP MY ANGER BOTTLED IN.
YOU LOOK AT ME AND POINT
I WALK WITH MY HEAD HANGING DOWN
WITH SUCH SHAME BUT INSIDE I DON'T KNOW WHY I HAVE TO
I SHOULD BE PROUD OF MY CULTURE
DON'T JUDGE ME IF YOU DON'T KNOW ME.
AS I WALK THROUGH YOUR STREETS
MY STOMACH STARTS TO TURN
IT'S A LITTLE THING CALLED COURAGE!
MY HEAD STARTS TO RISE, I START TO GLOW WITH HAPPINESS
YOU LOOK AT ME IN A STUPOR,
BUT I DON'T CARE CAUSE I NOW SEE ME OVERCOMING MY FEAR
I NOW KNOW THAT I AM"TAKING YOUR BREATH AWAY."
AND ALSO THAT "WE NIGGERS DO BELONG HERE."
