The misfit lightskin
Why should i have to walk into a classroom both mixed and miss matched but still get shunned for my skin
So what if im not the same as yall
So what if i have the complection as you but my hair isnt alike
Why should i care if my skin is lighter but im still not accepted as a brother or a negro
Im done listening
Im done listening to people talking about my hair
Im done listening to people as if im different
Im just the same
Same treatment like a black man but in a lighter toned body
But then treated as a misfit in a group of white people
Im tired of the looks of confusion as i walk down the streets
Im tired of the constant assumptions of me being spaniord
So what im done Im tired of listening to the colored and white groups cause as it stands im as black and white as all of you
