My background not my color,
Accept me for me and not the color of my mother,
Yellow, tan, white or black,
Diversity is what we lack,
Let’s just see things without shades,
Finally can put away our blades,
Dogmatism is evil and raw,
Together as one we’re so much more,
We’re all the same just flesh and blood,
Made by God out of dirt and mud,
Different beliefs, our own creed,
Brotherhood is what we need,
Not being accepted because of my tone,
My racial background won’t leave me alone,
We got to end the war that nears,
End it all without the broken tears,
Before any more brothers are killed
And without anymore blood being spilled.

Racial Slur

Nothing but a racial slur,
My background not my color,
Accept me for me and not the color of my mother,
Yellow, tan, white or black,
Diversity is what we lack,
Let’s just see things without shades,
Finally can put away our blades,
Dogmatism is evil and raw,
Together as one we’re so much more,
We’re all the same just flesh and blood,
Made by God out of dirt and mud,
Different beliefs, our own creed,
Brotherhood is what we need,
Not being accepted because of my tone,
My racial background won’t leave me alone,
We got to end the war that nears,
End it all without the broken tears,
Before any more brothers are killed
And without anymore blood being spilled.
