I'm black in a white world, a new family land
First born in this country, ancestors far away
The language is spoken, with accented reggae
Accepting of my world, yet stranger's looks offhand

I try to assemble with other lookalikes
Yet my affinity towards greatest of minds
Makes solidarity past the dark-colored kinds
Impossible to mend, yet my culture does spikes

Can they accept my thoughts, looking past my color?
Or they will prejudice my views as improper
Because of my background in living with pauper

I know my worth in words, I am a great scholar
Let's remove barriers and face the human kind
Put a blindfold cover to judge my works as find.
