becca watson - Racism - Colourblind

It makes no difference, black or white,
but racism they have no right,
the comments they shout at innocent people,
it hurts inside it's very lethal.

Slavery i'm sure you know,
started years and years ago,
sometimes we think it will never end,
they see us smile, it's all pretend.

They pain and torture in our heart,
our family and friends worlds apart,
the bad in their hearts will it ever release?
when will it end? when will it cease?

someone save us from this heartache,
will this nightmare be over?
will i ever awake?

Treat us nicely,
thats all we please,
we'll do anything,
we'll beg on our knees.

You disqualify us from the human race,
and its all because of the colour of our face.

You put us into different groups,
are lives are like a loop the loop.

On our pay it's hard to survive,
there's nothing here to keep us alive.

You treat the world like its your own,
wrapped in our pain you leave us alone.

You simply dont know how we feel,
you may aswell chop us up and eat us for a meal.

Our inlet of life soon gets closed,
by the men who fight for the english rose.

Its like our lives are out for rent,
are letters to home they never get sent.

You treat us like a trick of the mind,
i think you must be colourblind.
