Just Because I'm Black

by B.V.S.M.P.

on Shake That Thang (2005)

Hello, this is Fred from B.V.S.M.P
And I have a poem for the world
It's called Just Because I'm Black

Just because I'm black doesn't mean I steal
Just because I'm black doesn't mean I will kill
Even though I'm black I am not violent
But just because I'm black, I choose not to be silent
Even though I'm black, I am not a thug
But just because I'm black doesn't mean I sell drugs
Even though I'm black, I have lots of class
But just because I'm black don't mean I should be harassed
Just because I'm black, I possess lots of soul
But just because I'm black don't mean I can't rock and roll
Just because I'm black doesn't mean I'm above you
And just because you're not doesn't mean I won't love you
It's true that I'm black and I will stay black forever
But just because I'm black don't mean we can't live together

Peace
