it's not

It’s not the darkness in my heart or the pain I carry in my soul that separates us

But it’s the darkness of my skin that holds this love in a bind

It’s not the fights we’ve had or the problems we’ve yet to face that hold us back

But it’s the problems of a past that can’t be laid to rest that keep from were we both know we want to be

It’s not our mother or father that don’t want us together

But that fact that you can’t see me for more than who my forefathers are

Now I must admit I’m kind of getting use to it

I can except it from most just about all.

But from the person I love I can’t except it at all.

Because I’m black can not be the reason or the excuse if it must be

then I guess I must be though with you.
