I wonder what the black man's mind would be If he didn't have to straighten the disturbing kinks Of his act his speech his views his way to think If he wasn't still slave to the need to conform to others ways If he wasn't scared by the whip of blame Worried of passing on his genes His burden every time he came If he wasn't haunted by his very own name The dirty nword who to many he remains If he wasn't thinking of shackles depravation Eating the meagre grains of oppression If he wasn't armed with the spear of constant strength Having to rip hurt and build his muscles for self-defence For his burden to fit on his black back held by sturdy hands If he wasn't Playing the drum of social change Singing the same song of equality - If he didn't still have to be Luther King But his only reality lying within wet dreams Which he would almost always never live to see Yes my brothers I really wonder what our true Reflection would be If we didn't have to consider all of this If our minds wasn't bound By the outer colour of our skins
