=Why do da white people have all da fame?

We live in America full of great opportunities every day!

Except if yo in the ghetto with skin that is not the same.

Every one has a chance to get rich if you work hard enough.

That’s easy for you to say.

What is your name poor man that lives on the street?

My name is da unwanted, da forgotten, and da boy that lives in poverty.

You just need some help to get back on your feet!

What feet do you mean? The ones that are connected to me? Or the metaphorical ones amputated from me from an early age? Forcing me drag my body through a land of pain and misery? The feet that were supposed to set me free were taken away from me because of hate and discrimination in this homeland of the free. Feet that belonged to me but were distorted from your ignorance and your misunderstanding of me. I’ll walk on my hands if you don’t mind please and be the freak show at your feet.
