You say racism does not exist and maybe you're White like me
But I know it exists and it is not history
There is news of a man name George killed for an innocent crime
He said he could not breathe through his tears and cries
A lady called the cop on a black man in the park
He asked her to put the leash on her dog which left the lady quite a mark
She threatened to call the cops on a black man who was polite
Which he clearly did nothing right in plain sight
Another woman followed a Black man into the place that is his home
She questioned him like she owned the place instead of just leaving him alone
He was in his own apartment building minding his own time
She wanted to see if he was a threat but he committed no crime
Remember the Central Park Five that convicted five innocent men?
For raping and a harming a woman they were accused of back then
They spend years in jail for a crime they did not do
And now they can't get that time back to do things that they wanted to pursue
When will the hate and racism end in the world we live in today
It seems history repeats itself and just keeps coming our way
I am a White female and I wish I can understand
But sometimes I truly can't because I am not a Black woman or man
But what I will say is I see you and I know this racism has to stop
Equality needs to be spread and the hate crimes need to drop
The crimes should not even be around and should actually disappear
But how is this possible when racism occurs which causes Black individuals to live in fear?
They riot out of fear and anger cause they are mad
And truthfully I don't blame them because many of these hate crimes are sad
So to those in pain and in need of comfort, hope, and love
I wish that for you and all of the world's kindness above
I am sorry as a system we failed you for equality, end racism, and inclusion
The world can sometimes seem like a scary blur full of confusion
But I truly hope things get better and these days seem less hateful and blue
I just wanted to say again I am sorry for failing you and I see you
