Come togeether
Just a day in the shoes of a colorblind man
Should make it easy for you to see
That these diverse tones
Don’t just cover our bones
They are a part of our anatomy
We need to talk it out
not just sit and pout
We need to come together
One race to another
We had slaves notice that was past tense
Bad things happened and things still happen
You think I'm lying well you better strap in
This is serious so please stop laughing
We need to have more love in
People shouldn’t get hurt
Because they are different
The wrong message was sent
Our trust was bent
But it’s not what we meant
Maybe you didn’t get what I was saying
Our unity is fraying
Don't think I am playing
This ain’t entertaining
These words I am spraying
The message I’m portraying
We need to stop our hate
Before it’s too late
These rhymes I incinerate
We need to come together
Even if we don’t like the weather
Just because we are black or white
Doesn’t mean we should fight
I can see the light
At the end of the tunnel
We'll be there soon
If we can come together
