If I was white, oh what a sight!
I would be a hero to the right
I would be a savior in the night
I would be the future, a bright guiding light
I would be hailed as a genius for everything I write.
Truth is I’m tan (for the FBI, a medium skin tone black man)
You see me as not really human
You try to limit my professional plan
You marginalize my life and shorten the span
You stay scared and silent, letting me be killed by the evil white klan.
