That Right... Don't Belong To You

by Constance Marie

We meet
but can't properly greet 'cause you too busy
sizin' me up
Too dark:  Too light
Clothes too big:  Too tight
Must be African:  Lilly white
Too pretty:  Pretty ugly
From the ghetto:  Yuppie
Tryin' to be white:  Wanna be black
White trash:  Hood rat
Mighty skinny:  Awful fat
Republican:  Democrat
Damn!

Energy... wasted
and now we can't meet or greet properly
'cause you assumed the responsibility
of sizin' me up
The position of judge belongs to one and it aint you
Please, open life's bag and grab a clue
that right... don't belong to you
