BLACK
Black is not a color, it's definitely not a race,
And by labeling yourselves as black, you've systematically been erased.
See, there is no country on Earth called "BLACK",
Most of us haven't thought about it, but here are the facts.
Chinese people come from China, Indians are American,
Asians are from Asia; see how they each have their land?
Not their land, but rather their own nationality,
In this my friends is the verbal technicality.
Reparations won't be paid to a people who don't exist,
They will only be paid to people with a nationality, do you understand this?
By checking the little box "BLACK", when they ask you your race,
You're declaring to all that you don't have a place.
See, you don't know your lineage or language, it's this information you all lack,
This has allowed them to simply label you as "BLACK".
It's still written in the constitution that you're still property,
And as only 3/5 of a man, you only get privileges, no rights, no guarantees.
Because you say you're "BLACK" as your national selection,
Allowed your votes to be thrown out in the last 2 presidential elections.
From this day forward, declare the whole Earth your home land,
And be people not called "BLACK" because you are hue-mans.
Think about this, when you check that little box,
And help the next generation remove the chains and the locks.
No longer declare yourself to be a "BLACK-MAN" or "WOMAN",
From this day forward, consider yourselves only as HUE-MAN.
