lyrics

Intro
Dice game occurs and police show up drawing their weapons without a sign of threat from dice shooters and shoots and kills them.
Chorus(Sariah Mansoer)
The color of my skin
Should never ever determine
If live is worth living
What message are we sending
Verse 1 (Rawboss)
Yeah. Yeah. 
25 to life's a black man's fear.
It's a slap on the wrist thou 4 everyone else here.
Who Am I, If I can't walk these streets?
Where's the terroristic vibe? Don't you eat where I eat?
We're supposed to come together, but we can't for some reason.
Good old Land of America why do you mislead me?
We could eliminate this race hate with simple documentation.
With American as the race instead of Black or Caucasian.
Chinese or Asian. We can do better together as a nation.
You know you're showing the world racism ain't ready 4 facing.
I'm losing faith in the system because the ignorant drive us down.
See ignorant ain't just those whose pants are saggin' to the ground.
Look around. We all want the same. Stop looking to blame.
Why when we pick up on the rules you change the rules to the game?
Who am I addressing? It's simple. The US government.
What's constitutional ain't constitutional & it's bugging me.
Chorus (Sariah Mansoer)
The color of my skin
Should never ever determine
If live is worth living
What message are we sending
Verse 2 (Artwork)
According to law thats protocol illegal search and seizures coming out the mall/
They said I match the discription of disturbance calls/
They drawing down on me telling me to leave my car/
They got me cuffed to the wall frisking on my balls/
These cowards got it all wrong im a working man/
I pay my taxes making legal presidents been at my job for years held the same residenece/
These coppers hatin conversatin til the bitter end/
All because im doing well focused on my kids lets keep it real we know the foucus on my tone of skin/
Here we go again now I got to pay the price/
they said they saw me shootin dice by the store that night/
Became a casualty of spite through the line of sight/
They staged a fight planted guns on me and took my life/
This shit aint right never read my rights now tell my wife/
Im among the other innocent that gave my stripes/
Chorus (Sariah Mansoer)
The color of my skin
Should never ever determine
If life is worth living
What message are we sending
Verse 3 (Artwork & Rawboss)
(Artwork) 
It seem like more to me fourty thieves couldnt take all my royalty
desendants of kings conduct myself like a mortal being/
(Rawboss)
The majority priority is to rule with senority.
Abusing the minority against their own authority.
(Artwork)
I know my poetry flow I keep it eched out in gold
these racist faces gon know they going places alone/
(Rawboss)
What's the reason behind your actions are all I wanna know.
A hateful heart ain't the problem if it lies in your soul.
(Artwork)
Can't decide to let go the hatred carved in your sins,
probably teaching your kids to keep the hatred within/
(Rawboss)
The color of my skin shouldn't offend. We are human.
I wanna provide 4 my family, but you don't want me to do it.
(Artwork)
this ignorance is foolish to many its strictly humor
time to educate these tutors and make em use their medula/
(Rawboss)
What message are we sending to the unknown future.
We live & die under the watchful eye but the feeling is mutual.
Chorus (Sariah Mansoer)
The color of my skin
Should never ever determine
If life is worth living
What message are we sending
