African Americans In America
Things black people don’t enjoy
1. Crawling along the side of the street,
Either at midnight or anytime as long as they’re on the concrete
It’s the people in front of you tip toeing faster and faster..
As you speak -
“Hello, do you know which way is north? I’m trying to catch the train.”
72.7 percent of sex crimes are committed by caucasians
Why put the responsibility on a black man?
Shake my head…
Things black people don’t enjoy

Proving people wrong is what keep sanity
And…
Dancing to the song of our ancestors always doesn’t define us,
But we make it out alright
