The Color of My Face Lyrics

“Is it possible, that you can just see more

Than what you think you know, than the color of my face

Is it possible, to be judgmental,

When we should stick and pull, For the human race”

I be like Batman and everybody else Dick Greyson

Cuzz they robbin me of my rights, for the color of my face and

Spacing me out, that I’m now marginalized

But if they come shootin, it’s the white in my eyes

Are showing, when they see me comin at yah in the open

Its chicken season but I got yah ducking from this flowing

How that goes when, when I go into a good part of town, some of the snobby peoples

Smiles turn to frowns. Nouns they call me, but I’ll do verb an adjective

I’ll move out the area quickly, to where I live

See to where I still understand that “we” are divided

The pigmentation I got, some actually get died in

My socio-economic status, is because I’m colored

As I progress in some areas dearly, beloved

But I get crazed, when negative energy is just waste

On others, just for the color of their face, come on!

“Is it possible, that you can just see more

Than what you think you know, than the color of my face

Is it possible, to be judgmental,

When we should stick and pull, For the human race”

Now for the ones, who say that “I don’t see it”

That a color doesn’t matter, experience I mean it

Make me feel i know, what I know, what I feel

When the eyes are full of hate on me because I deal

With another subgroup, that are not grouped with them

if the inner circles open up, we all be friends

By the ends of all means, I still have to go out

The circle, the box, or whatever shaped of my house

I live in and vacate, cuz I must accept that my fate

Of where I live and and raise my family is cuz of “my face”

Not to debate, cuz you can’t relate because you got no taste

Of the plan laid out, to orchestrate

That my place in society is to obliterate

That the discourse that it is, is off just as late

Paint me as the villain, so “you” can just feel just great

That its me and not you, it’s the color of my face, Come on!
