JUST BECAUSE IM AFRICAN AMERICAN

Just because i'm African American
Don't mean my skin is black,
Don't mean my mom is on crack
And definitely doesn't mean there's something i lack

Just because I'm Africa American 
Don't mean I'm a waste of time
Don't mean i cant do better 
Doesn't mean i don't cherish whats mine

Just because I'm African American d
Doesn't mean I'm perfectly sane
Doesn't mean we don't walk in the same lane
Doesn't mean we don't feel the same pain

Just because I'm African American
Why should i be treated differently?
Why does everything negative refers to me?
Why is it surprising when i actually succeed?
Why is it I'm no longer a slave but I'm not free?
