Help me to Understand

                        Water beats on my head, runs down my back

                         Room full of steam, I take this time to relax

                        And think about things, through times history

                         Why the world is as it is, to me is a mystery 

                        Why people hate me, for the color of my skin

                    When we all breathe the same air, when will we begin

                          To accept the fact, we're all created equal

                     But that's not for me to decide, I'll wait for the sequel 

                      Why create a weapon, that could destroy the world

                     Do they not think of the futures, of little boys and girls

                           People making promises, they can't hang with

                     And we're suppose to set examples, I'm sick of this shit

                              Why do we argue, over the name of God

                     Because that person believes something else, he's a dog

                      Black, white, asian, hispanic, you breathe as I breathe

                      And through destruction of hate, you bleed as I bleed

                            Racially profiled, because I drive a nice car  

                      Or I only made it to college, because I'm a sports star

                  My ancestors took the beatings, was that not enough blood

                         I wish things could turn, so others can see what

                               It was for them, and how it is for me

                             But that's just a thought, here in reality

                              The ones you love, turn on you most

                        So I stand up tall, head high, and clear my throat

               I can only speak my piece, to whom wants to hear what I say

                  Remember, we all have to account for our actions one day
