LABEL MY BROTHER



Why do people label things black or white?

You talk white
You talk black

Why is it labeled like that?

You walk like a black man
No, I don’t my foot just hurts

You look like a white man
Because I am

Some black men
Call a successful black man a “sellout”
Because he has a lot

Why do you associate with the white man?
He’ll make a fool of you
Don’t go near a black man
He’ll rob and kill you

Do you tan to be black

Do you want to be white?
Is that why you always fight

Do you want a white man for a brother?
Do you want a black man for a brother?

It should be both or the other
The other is to always hate each other
