Just Because I’m Black
Just because I’m Black, doesn’t mean
I’m ignorant,
Just because I have a nice body, doesn’t mean
I have to show it off,
Just because my mom spoils me, doesn’t mean
I got it all,
Just because it’s money in my pocket, doesn’t mean
I’m going to the mall,
Just because I smile all the time, doesn’t mean
I’m happy,
Just because I have a good life, doesn’t mean
it’s perfect,
Just because I cry, doesn’t mean
I’m hurt,
Just because I’m stressed out, doesn’t mean
I’m lonely
