Keeping It Real: Isn't that a bit much to be called Too Black, is there such a thing?
They take my kindness for weakness
They take my silence for speechless
They consider my uniqueness strange
They call my language slang
They see my confidence as conceit
They see my mistakes as defeat
They consider my success accidental
They minimize my intelligence to potential
My questions mean I am unaware
My advancement is somehow unfair
To voice my concern is discontentment
If I stand up for myself, I am too defensive
If I don't trust them, I am too apprehensive
I am defiant If I separate
I am fake If I assimilate
My character is constantly under attack
They take my kindness for weakness
They take my silence for speechless
They consider my uniqueness strange
They call my language slang
They see my confidence as conceit
They see my mistakes as defeat
They consider my success accidental
They minimize my intelligence to potential
My questions mean I am unaware
My advancement is somehow unfair
To voice my concern is discontentment
If I stand up for myself, I am too defensive
If I don't trust them, I am too apprehensive
I am defiant If I separate
I am fake If I assimilate
My character is constantly under attack
