Racism hurts everyone in the same way

by given up   Mar 8, 2006


I walk in
with my head bent
they turn to look at me
and start to judge

JUDGE ME BY WHAT I'M WEARING
JUDGE ME BY HOW I LOOK
JUDGE ME BY THE PRICE OF MY CLOTHES
judge me by the color or my skin

they don't even know me
but they all b.itch about me
they put me in a class
i just dint fit in

the harder i try too fit in
the harder i fall when rejected

they dint even know me
but they all ignore me
they call me names
and talk behind my back

everything they say
hurts me real bad
everything they do
makes me so sad

just as i think
that things cant get worse
the real trouble starts
worse than names and b.i.t.c.h.i.n.e.s.s

they push me
and shove me
they spit in my face
they call me black b.i.t.c.h

i dint know how to cope anymore
everything always gets worse
the teachers dint say anything
and i just cant tell

my parents are ashamed
of our color and race
i am saddened by the look on their face

i wonder how to show
people it hurts
show people what they do
to make blacks feel bad

i could call them names back
i could call them white trash
but that would make me as bad as them.
i only want to get away
to me there is only one way out
i have no-one to stop me

i go to the kitchen and take what i need
put it too my wrist
and slash till it bleeds

the pain is so immense
but i carry on
i want to show people
we're no different from them

the blade is cold
on my warm skin
the blood is so bright
on the silver knife

now its allover
but they dint care
they think good riddance
the stupid black b.i.t.c.h

dint judge by the color of skin
everyone gets huts the same
everyone feels pain...
