Why are some of my friends being taught things different than me
Living life so differently because of the way their seen
I'm trying to make it make sense, why people are living in tents
And can't even make two cents because of a past pretense
How is someone supposed to get a leg up
When that same leg is weighing them down
I don't wanna hate, I don't wanna fight no more
I don't even understand, what we're even fighting for
Isn't it common sense, isn't it understood
Why has it taken so long just for a voice to be heard
What in the world, how can people still live in a world
Where it seems we haven't even learned that color is just a word
Or maybe a shade but who decided to bring in the hate
Cause I can't think of a thing I hate when I think about the color grey
How is someone supposed to get a leg up
When that same leg is weighing them down
I don't wanna hate, I don't wanna fight no more
I don't even understand, what we're even fighting for
Isn't it common sense, isn't it understood
Why has it taken so long just for a voice to be heard
I know, I know, I know, I know we can all agree
This isn't how it's supposed to be, gonna take more than apologies
I know, I know, I know, I know we can all agree
If we're gonna change the way we see, it's gonna have to start with me
How is someone supposed to get a leg up
When that same leg is weighing them down
I don't wanna hate, I don't wanna fight no more
I don't even understand, what the hell we're fighting for
Isn't it common sense, isn't it understood
Why has it taken so long just for a voice to be heard
I don't wanna hate no more, no I don't wanna fight no more
Isn't it common sense, isn't it understood
Why has it taken so long for a single voice to be heard
