Black

Of any human group having dark-colored skin, especially of African or Australian Aboriginal ancestry.

It's hard being black in a world full of light

Always being put on the back burn

People taking from your culture and calling it theirs

When you do it, it's ghetto

When they do it, it's urban

When you use slang, you're uneducated

When they use slang, they're cool

Nobody stands up for us, not even our own

How can you not love a soldier on your side,

No matter how bad their aim is

Slavery is no more

The chains are broken, but

The judge has spoken

So the chains are put back on taking you to your cell

But they let the everyday cop walk free

Letting murders set free

Black

We fight for our rights

Black

The opposite of white
