People will tell you that racism is dead

I can tell you personally, you're being misled

I come from a family where love comes from within

it doesn't make a difference- the color of your skin


My mother is white, beautiful, tiny and blonde

daddy's a strong black man, onyx eyes that respond

Then there's little ole me, who's half and half

I want to be proud but at school they all laugh


All the parties I've left tears spilling out my eyes

just like today, what a horrible birthday surprise

mascara running, straight down my face

this whole parties turned into a big disgrace


My family swears I'm sweet as can be

I wonder how they'd feel if I didn't agree

I want love from the truest place, at heart

discrimination? no, I refuse to take part


I've loved a man- midnight dark as can be

another, blonde hair, blue eyes like the sea

now, my heart belongs to a gorgeous Puerto Rican

every time he looks at me, I swear my knees weaken


It doesn't matter your race, culture or creed

as long as you respect me, I'll do whatever you need

you get what you give, that's why karmas around

but I'm the bigger person I won't bring you down
