Black Man

Anthony Hanible

Run 

And

Hide

Still in the dark 

Watch out for the hanging ropes 

Black Man

They are collecting 

They are killing 

The one number victims 

You're a threat to their world 

Black Man

Black Men

Stick together 

Please 

We're losing one after another 

Hiding the real reason 

Black Man

Black Man

Run

And 

Hide

    personally, I would like to think and hope this is no longer the case; but yes racism does exist even today - and maybe becoming nastier in some places..unfortunately
