Why can't I be me.........


why you look at me Like some thief or a criminal wandering the streets
like prison time should be the only thing sentenced to me
why can I only express my feelings threw my poetry?
I'm obligated to a pen and pad cause its obvious you won't notice me
cause my skin is not the color its suppose to be supposbly,
hopefully we will open our third eye
and see that hatred is one of the underlords signs
hatred will lead you to your demise



Why can't I be me..........



why do you consistantly try and make me live with misery
try to fill my life up with pain and animosity
can it possibly be cause my eyes are to dark and lips to full
why do you treat me like a fool like I have no clue
like I'm your personal mule like I gotta carry all the burdens you put me threw
why am I a slave in your mind its pitiful
why can't we treat eachother as equals I'm willing too



Why can't I be me.........



why is your impression of me have to be a freak show
cause I where a fitted, tims untied and jeans low
why do you call me a thug a hoodlum when me you dont even know
is it because deep in your inner bieng your afraid of us reaching our goal?
Why do you treat me so cold?
like your sitting in the middle of the artic with no clothes
like you fell threw ice and your whole body froze
like you got frost bite to your head to toes


Why can't i be me .........




why can't I have the same opportunity
or live in the same community
why do you look at me as a minority
is rasism your priority?
Why is prison the only place we are the majority?




Why can't I be me.........




Why can't I laugh the way I want
or walk or talk the way I want
why do you try to program us like robots
I am not johnny 5 nor am I C3PO
I am what your not a kind caring person
what's worse is
I refuse to judge you what's the purpose
then I would be you and I dont want to


Why can't I be me..................
