Change?

We think...

Has anything's changed since the Civil Rights movement

Where niggers like me

Fought for equal rights

Struggled for independence

Its horrendous

The amount of hatred, racial comments , and stereotypes I receive

I just try to be the best person i can

Racism will never be dead

And I know its hard to believe

Because you're not me

You're probably someone better

Because if you're white your superior over me

Yall think...

That the history books and Declaration of Independence

Which I say everyday

The National Anthem

Were all just scribbled down lies

Written by the winners

Who don't care

For those who can relate

I don't mean to be so negative

I'm sorry

But I've reached the point where i cant stay quite

I took the time to look over my statistics

I just wish my friends wouldn't look at me like I'm some self righteous or know it all

I just wish that strangers I don't even know

Didn't treat me like I'm some gangster or trash

Like a typical black male or as a convict

I wish my teachers wouldn't look at me like I'm some lazy idiotic

Or a troubled kid

Thinking that my life is violent

Waiting to explode into a flurry if punches if someone offends me

I guess some things will never change
