Brown skin
In the corner of my eye
Yet in full sight
Ur beautiful curse
Imprisons ur possibilities
Turns capabilities into abnormalities
Shackles ur options in life

Child of the sun
So innocent, yet
Doomed to experience the dark side of life
Judged by the white man
Who claims to be the Most High
Neglecting the fact that
The skins of the Prophets
Were colored bu the sun
Naturally

Born as a menace to society
Forced into a situation
To fullfill the prophesy
Sentenced before u act
The jury made a pact
To erase variety from this "civilized" society
Forgive them, Father
Even though they know damn well what they do
Stupidity is the faith of those that are ruled by
Ignorancy
But my heart is free
My eyes not color dictated
My mind educated
And our daughter made ur beautiful
Dark skin
Truly related...

I liked the way you linked "our" inherited greatness with our naeivety, innocence and our ability to succeed through great adversity.

Very nice.
