The hate that they give simply because of the color of our skin
The hate that they give because we are nothing like them
They hate that they give because of the texture of our hair
The hate they give because of even the clothes that we wear
The hate they give simply because we argue or defend ourselves
The hate they give depends on how we see ourselves
The hate they give because of how we were brought up
The hate they give because they think we're nothing but bad people with guns and robbers
The hate they give because we're the kin of our ancestors
The hate they give because of the color of our skin
