Don't you wake at night
After the day has thinned?
When hardly a soul is in sight
To witness you shed your skinCause when your friends are gone
And it's only you,
You can feel the thoughts in your head,
Hear them too:They sleep on you, black boy.
They see not you, thug boy.
But they don't dream like you, real boy
Their jealous of you, big boySo dream a world you can live in.
Be black like the night you fit in.
Man up, there is no sitting.
Dream, black boy, you're living.Author's Note
