Blue Eyed Black Boy

I try to figure out, but i don't understand
What makes one man better then 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
It's 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 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're going to get, is what you're 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
