Black in America [ skittles & iced tea?]

LIFE is cold, 

LIFE is shady, 

being black in america, 

still being treated like its the 80's, or way before. 

 its crazy.

LIFE is so unfair,

cause i am black here, in america. 

i study to learn 

i learn to progress 

i prgress to make a change. 

creating styles, 

cause i cant stick with one

everyday is a constant strain!!

but LIFE IS SO COLD!

america can't see the truth; 

they thinking its all JOKES & RIDDLES. 

but its way more serious, like: 

all Trayvon wanted was some Iced Tea & some Skittles. 

how was he a threat? 

So what he was wearing a hoodie,

WAS HE SUPPOSED TO FREEZE? 

"America the free" ? unless you're a black teen. 

or black in general. 

Mentally i am DONE.

Physically i am STRAINED, 

Emotionally i am - all cried out. 

but i still have so much to gain - so...

so i gotta break the CHAINS.

Call me names 

Make me feel second rate.

Make it like you're running first,

and im in second place. 

Im just going off, 

LIFE IS SO COLD! 

Where is the sun? 

im juss going off, 

for a mother who has to bury her son!

We want justice, 

We need peace, in knowing

has America really changed?

DON'T TELL ME - 

SHOW IT!!!
