I Am Comfortable In My Own Beautiful Brown Skin
The Same Skin That Makes Others Uncomfortable With Me Being In
Do To Confusion, Uncertainty, Power Of The Mind Manipulations By The Unknown Personally, The TV Especially
Through The Human Eyes, Which You See, Do Not Judge, If You Do Not Know The Person That Comes In Contact Who You Be
We All Have Feelings Just As Human Beings
You Light Skin, I'm Brown Skin, We So Different, But How That's Not Saying Anything
It Seems You Forget, We Learn, And Need Each Other More Than You Think
We Learn More From One Another Than Any School Or University
But Education Is Important, Communication Is Key
To Unlock Doors To The Future Which You Seek
The Mind Is Very Powerful, Just Like The Words You Speak
Some Listen, Some Understand, Some Turn The Other Cheek
People Don't Realize We Are All Connected In Our Daily Lives, Everyday You Breath
You Go To The Doctor, To School, To Work, The Grocery Store, The Library
Put Trust In Others, Who You Do Not Know, Not Your Family, But Society
Yet You Have Racism, You Have Hatred, You Have Misunderstandings Of The Very People You Need
We Tend To Disagree, More Than We Tend To Agree
Our Energy Travels Fast, Especially Negative, Seems More So Coming Than Positive Energy
Seems People Are More Into The Television Screen, Than There Own Life Reality
Money Is A Need, A Want, A Factor, A Disaster, A Tool, That Can Not Fix Anything That Really Matters
Besides Financial Stability, Not Love, Respect, Support, Or Loyalty
Makes One Think To The Self, What Do The World Really Want From Me
Heart Of Love, Heart Of Hatred, Heart Of Experience
Don't Judge Me, Because Just Like You, This Is A Lifetime I Was Born In
I Will Make Mistakes In The Process Of Living The Best I Can
As I Grow From Who I Was, To Who I Am, As I Continue To Become Who I Want To Be
On This Journey I Live The Life That Was Given To Me
