Please let us end racism
white brown or beige we all feel pain and deserve to be happy
it ain't nothing but skin deep
We all red when we bleed
If you're my sister or my brother
family is family no matter your color
blood is thicker than water but
We have more common than ppl encounter
In the end we all suffer the same fate
Regardless of how much money we make
We all end up in the grave someday
It's what we leave behind that makes a difference
Our ancestors have made mistakes
And it reflects on everybody today
Both races are to blame for something
they had no control over
and it's time for change
But my skin has never benefited me in any way
I still lived in poverty
Iv had to eat for free
at the salvation army
and when I look around see
many walks of life struggling nobody's perfect
your skin type doesnt matter
what matters is actually
how you treat people
in that situation
some people are bitter and hate
and blame ppl for their mistakes
Racisism still exist
but not in little kids
It's just hate for no reason
and it's just bullshit
cuz we all got to live
on the same damn planet
some people are only racist for what
the world has thrown at them
some people stay humble
And still help people regardless
if they homeless or Rich
everybody needs help sometimes
I know exactly how it is
It's a hard road
When you have to walk alone
so you should be grateful
for any hand that has helped you
but some people are hateful
but I remain humblly awake
I love to help ppl in any way
medically physically mentally
regardless of race age or financial stability
My skin has never worked to my benefit
I am not perfect
And I am not privileged
I've gotten hurt more by bitches
And IV gotten burned on my things
and got it back again
nothing was ever given
except maybe the government
but welfare is not for everybody
but it is for somebody who needs it no matter the color of your skin
Or sexual orientation
