I come from a long generation of disapproval
Whites and blacks not able to be seen as one
The sight of the two was delusional
But the worst of my struggles have just begun

I come from strong races,
With all different faces
Coming from all different places
We stand as one

Things cannot always be fun
I learned from the wise ones
The people I come from
