unwelcome(about racism)

by Antwan Fields - Aries

to listen to hateful people with no sense or anything better to do
looking to the sky to save me, looking for a sign of life
the skinheads the racist little pricks
smile in my face and in my back they twist the knife
and it happened while i was among friends, and im helpless to do anything about it
i feel so angry but what can i do??
it doesn't help that he's gay, no, that only makes it worse
he's not fighting bashers, no, he's fighting me and he's fighting you 
maybe if if saw his point, if i was white i would
but im black and im not white, so in that time its past what i could
its unfair that this should happen, its not right, but its okay
im gonna hurt you today
but that actually would not happen, because i won't let you get me like that, see??
i won't lose anything to you, especially my dignity
so the racists think they've won, but again they are wrong
won't you come into the trap? cause you think its taken from me??
and i wonder how long you are going to last
and your kind, while the bell goes dong-ding-dong.

Reason for writing:

    i don't hang out with racists or anyone who panders to stereotypes. so this son of a bitch nick, that fucking racist, has been saying things about me behind my back. fuck him.
