Go back to Africa
I’ve heard them say
But I’m not from there
I wouldn’t even know the way.
Go to wherever you came from
Well OK.
I’m from Georgia
It’s just around the way.
But racism is dead
Didn’t you get the memo?
Well, actually, no.
Just how far across the world did that memo go?
Did it travel through white America
Or to the desert sands?
Did it reach the African villages
Or even your native lands?
If racism is dead
Then what’s that status I read,
Send them all back
Just because they’re black.
America for the Americans
But who does that include?
Just because of the dash in African-American
Doesn’t mean you should exclude.
Racism isn’t dead my friend
Unfortunately, it’s very much alive
And the scary part is
It’s not even the racists who hide.
