Why is there the need for me to explain away my blackness?
We are a group of one culture, but just as individual as we please.
To be ashamed of the color, the tone, and the race to which GOD made me
Well, that would be a “shame fo’ GOD”indeed
Who told you that the crafting of GOD’s work was something to be
Made fun of, put down, accepted as the lowest underdog; suited only to look at others with eyes that beg and plead
To be apart of their acceptable nature; one that looks nothing like me?
I’m not explaining myself, for being myself, just because you feel it’s a need
Not for me no, but for you, to keep you, in your own mind superior, so you can look in the mirror & like what YOU see.
That picture, when I truly sit & think about it, is such a pity
You need ME, my people, my color, my culture, to be lower than you, just so YOU can feel the slightest bit worthy
-Passion
