I don’t hate white people
I hate the privileges they get when they’re born
Or the mythologies they make like the Minotaur with the horns
Or the fact that they have the highest success rate
While my race has high death rates
I don’t hate white people
I hate their ideas of unity and peace
But when Bob Marley said it
He was a rebel and hated the police
I don’t hate white people
I hate the freedom that comes with being born with a race that is the color of rice
The fact that Asians are stereotyped into wanting to always eat rice
Or the stereotypical Black man that plays a sport or drops rhymes
And that they get to do whatever they like
Without being questioned on where they goin or what they doin
I don’t hate white people
I hate a system that justifies white people
Giving them a “get out of jail-free” card
But when a brother do the same thing
He behind bars for life
Free those shackles that you have bestowed upon us
I scream at the top of my lungs
Black prominence
This isn’t white prejudice
I just want to see angels fly unshackled
My mind moves too quickly
That’s why I don’t pronounce words fully
But this aint no child’s play
I wanna stop popping champagne
Because my boy made it out of the pen
And not college
