The fear of a young black man in America. O America the beautiful land I fear that today might be my last. For the color of my skin has made me a threat The ink on my arms has made me into a gangbanger For I fear to wear a hoody because I might be seen as a thug You have taken my kindness for weakness My silence as speechless You have dismiss my uniqueness as foreign You called my language slangs You see my mistakes as defeat You consider my success as accidental Trivialize my intellect as potential My questions means I am unaware My advancement their regression My success their invention To voice concern is discontentment If I stand up for myself, I’m 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. O America the land of the free.
