Apartheid

Location

"White people, white people." "Black people, black"


The reason there's still racism, is all 'cause of that


Separations of race, defining between the two


I don't know about you, but I could care less if you're blue


Judgment based on an organ, a simple layer of skin


Most times if they want it to stop, they need to look within


"Whites" aren’t always racist; "Blacks" aren’t always done in


Just 'cause I'm white doesn’t mean I care about your pigment


And just because you're black, doesn’t mean you're the victim


White, or yellow. Black, white or blue.


The person you can control. Has always just been you


So stop the profiling, stereotyping, and judging by outer layer


We're all different, yet the same. A disgusting waste of air


'Cause we care more for a color, than wrists that are stained red


Or about a child, who’s never had a bed


More importance for a color then for a child who's born to Meth


Or for a child who’s never been full. On the edge of death


Messed up priorities. Crying racism at the slightest sting


Do you remember the cry of Wolf? This all has a familiar ring


So worried about things that could never change


The color of your skin? It doesn’t matter, it’s all the same


Can we now get back in line? Care about what matters?


Maybe once again, start to hear children’s precious laughter


I’m so SICK of hearing out this! Come find me when you grow up


Stop acting like a child, it’s disgusting a vile... Let’s end this, it is enough.
