White Privilege
I have known the hand of privilege
Been forgiven for my sins
Don’t they know under the surface
I am red beneath the skin
I have advanced above my betters
Some will lose while others win
Don’t they know under the cover
I am black beneath the skin
I earned more than my fair share
Don’t know where I should begin
Don’t they realize it’s all a mask
I am brown beneath the skin
No one tells you that its wrong
Like a song below the din
You accept the solemn truth
That it’s all about the skin
