Paranoid,
Afraid
I’m
paranoid,
Every
time I walk through your neighborhood,
The
dogs are barking,
The
whites are looking,
Will
I end up like Trayvon Martin?
Damn.
When
I’m in elevator with white women,
I
sometimes receive looks from them,
They
look unsure, sometimes afraid,
Is
it because I’m tall?
Is
it because I’m a man?
Is
it because I’m black?
Not
sure,
White
spaces make me uneasy but black spaces make me just as uneasy,
Niggas
starting at me in the hood,
Maybe
because they are unfamiliar with me,
Usually now black folks leave me alone in black spaces,
I’m
worried about these young niggas,
These
gun toting niggas with nothing to lose,
They
scare me,
These
white gun toting folks looking to kill a nigger scare me too,
Fuck,
where is my piece of mind?
I
miss Japan,
I
could be black over there without worrying about much,
Damn…
