Just because I’m BLACK doesn’t mean I’m AFRICAN

Just because I’m BLACK doesn’t mean I’m GHETTO

Just because I’m BLACK doesn’t mean I look like this PERSON

Just because I’m BLACK doesn’t mean I like WATERMELON

Just because I’m BLACK doesn’t mean I will fit your stereotype

Just because MY HAIR is different doesn’t mean you can TOUCH it

Just because MY HAIR is different don’t treat me like I’m a rarity on in a PETTING ZOO

Just because I’m BLACK does mean I have a TARGET on my back

But because I’m BLACK my DIFFERENCES and my BACKGROUND give me STRENGTH
