    You look at us as if
    We are creatures of the unknown
    Focusing on our skin the color the tone
    Are we so different,
    Because we are black?
    Or are you afraid of our minds
    And don't know how to react
    Afraid of our intellect
    and the knowledge we obtain
    Trying to limit our opportunities
    Keeping us restrained
    But we can not be held down
    Always in pursuit of our golden crown
    Leaving our mark up this great Earth
    Showing what we are made of
    Displaying our worth
    Look at us and you will notice
    That we are the same
    Our skin is a different color
    That can not be changed
    Are we so different?
