I'm Not Black

Overnight, across the country, the cause for justice are growing more intense Protesters are still out on the streets tonight Yeah, you can probably see me looking around keeping my head on a swivel here,the crowd maybe in numbers hasn’t necessarily grown The National Guard Nowhere to be seen The state police Nowhere to be seen The local police Nowhere to be seen The sheriff’s department Nowhere to be seen This is a letter to whoever needs it I’m not black but this conversation has a meaning We all bleed the same colors but for different reasons We in the same boat, you either swimming or you start to sink in People kill, people steal and we get traumatized That’s a part of life we can never try to justify I’m not black but I’m never picking who should die We’re all equal, but only you can save a life This is a letter to whoever needs it I’m not black but this conversation has a meaning We all bleed the same colors but for different reasons We in the same boat, you either swimming or you start to sink in People kill, people steal and we get traumatized That’s a part of life we can never try to justify I’m not black but I’m never picking who should die We’re all equal, but only you can save a life Racism isn’t born it’s taught by different cultures Everyone can start to judge before they get to know ya I’m not black but the media portrays its vulgar, so what you see on TV is the outcome of someone who told ya Tattoos defined by color and initiation Someone’s killing while the others doing home invasions We all got different dreams you either leave it or you take, so when the people start to ask you don’t you ever try to make up statements This is a letter to whoever needs it I’m not black but this conversation has a meaning We all bleed the same colors but for different reasons We in the same boat, you either swimming or you start to sink in People kill, people steal and we get traumatized That’s a part of life we can never try to justify I’m not black but I’m never picking who should die We’re all equal, but only you can save a life This is a letter to whoever needs it I’m not black, but this conversation has a meaning We all bleed the same colors but for different reasons We in the same boat, you either swimming or you start to sink in People kill, people steal and we get traumatized That’s a part of life we can never try to justify I’m not black, but I’m never picking who should die We’re all equal, but only you can save a life I’m not black, but the world is trying to go against ya I’m not black, but I’ma let you know I’m standing with ya I’m not black, but I understand the older picture, we riot on the streets for something that going to make you die quicker White on white crime is something you never get to hear about, but what about that when Adam shot the kids an killed himself So Americans can portray themselves as a certain image, but maybe if I was black then my consequences would be different This is a letter to whoever needs it I’m not black, but this conversation has a meaning We all bleed the same colors but for different reasons We in the same boat, you either swimming or you start to sink in People kill, people steal and we get traumatized That’s a part of life we can never try to justify I’m not black, but I’m never picking who should die We’re all equal, but only you can save a life But only you can save a life
