Bilingual
the dark brown shades of my skin
only add color to my tears
that splash aganst my hollow bones
that rocks my soul
ย
looking back over my past dreams that i once knew
wondering why my dreams never came true
somebody tell me
what can i do
ย
something is holding me back,
is it because i'm black.
ย
in this world of no pitty
i was raised in the ghetto of the city
ย
momma she worked so hard
to earn every penny
ย
something is holding me back cause
is it because i'm black
ย
something is holding me back cause
i'm wondering if it's because i'm black
ย
like a child steeling his first piece of candy and got caught
