When you see us
Why do you cross the street
Why do you clutch your purse to your side
Why does your heart skip a beat
When you see us
Tell me what do you see
What is it about us the causes you to be so mean
What make you beat, murder and emasculate our KINGS
When you see us
Why does fear take control
Why is your only solution..... to try and take our souls
When you see us
Why is it your quick to dial 911
Why is it your quick to shoot with your guns
Why is it you only see a thug
Why are you constantly killing and imprisoning our sons
When you see us
What do you see
Why do you see danger
Simply in the color of our skin
Are you an extension of your ancestors
Only in a different form
Are you the new KKK
In present Amerika
Boldly you try to destory us
With out the White Sheets
When you see us
Tell me what do you see
