a white girl cries
why can't I 
a black girl's fears
bring forth tears 
a white man on dope 
my concern - nope 
a black heart aches 
I can relate

a white life is taken 
my heart's not breaking
black wounds heal 
that I can feel 
a white dies - so I hear
can't bring myself to care
a black lives in misery
it could have been me 

a white lives in pain 
but mines not the same 
a black owns a rolls royce
my heart will rejoice 
a white girls woes 
I do not know 
a black girl sees 
through eyes like me 

a black lady finds 
feelings of mine 

when I make choices 
it affects all black voices 

a white girl cries 
why can't I
