BLACK-SKIN

My eyes have seen things,

Things that I can't unseen

Cause I'm black,

I can't use the swings

Cause my skin color is obscene

Many at times I've been whack

I've been hit with shot from slings

To be able to live-- I took vaccine

Hoping it'll get rid of the black

Time goes by life brings

Pains of racism are seen,

Where my kin are attacked,

Hands held up during springs,

Believing God will intervene

For life is hard been black.
