I am black,

but, I am an American,

yet, because of my color, you stab me in the back?

They tell me I speak too proper for a girl of my color,

and that I could be mistaken as white,

I'm sorry that my skin isn't like the president's, who's on the dollar.

I'm a "thug" and a "gangster" when I rap like Macklemore or Eminem,

but he's white, unlike me, and he's so "cool" and "awesome"

because I'm black, I can't rap like them?

I'm a person, not an object,

why does no one see that?

I guess society must be wrecked.

I'm a woman of color, no excuses, please,

I'm proud of my skin, and my heritage within,

so go, be racist like always, so your heart will continue to freeze.
