Is it because of the colour of my skin
Has no one told you beauty lies within
You nothing about me
But still the colour of my skin is all you see
Why do you resent me because of the things I choose to believe in
You and me
We're not really that different
Hopefully one day someone or something will make you see
That there's no reason in the world to continue hating me
We're all pretty much the same
And ignorence isn't a game
If you treat someone like dirt
The only thing you've done is hurt

Why do you hate me

Has no one told you beauty lies within

We're not really that different
Hopefully one day someone or something will make you see
That there's no reason in the world to continue hating me
We're all pretty much the same
