Blue Eyed Black Boy

I try to figure out but I don't understand What makes one man better than another man I try to figure out if there's something I can do To change the way you see me and I see you The color of my skin, unlike the color of my eyes Is getting me in trouble, costing me a hefty price I try to stay away from all those sacred clans I'll try to stay in town, I'll try to make a stand Heads down, make sure your head's down Don't get to this town, face down Face down, make sure you stay down Don't stay in town, heads down If you look into my eyes, you'll see the color blue If I look at you, I'll see a human who is living in this town Like I live every day Trying to survive, trying to find his way If you're looking at my skin you'll see the color black We better look ahead then look back We better make this town a better place to live in 'Cause what you going to get is what you giving Heads down, make sure your head's down Don't get to this town, face down Face down, make sure you stay down Don't stay in town, heads down Heads down, make sure your head's down Don't get to this town, face down Face down, make sure you stay down Don't stay in town, heads down
