"Walking While Black"
If the sky is darker than your skin
Stay indoors until the sun rises again
Don't let it chilly before you leave
Yesterday, today, when is your death's eve?
Walking while black, that is your crime
Honors student but your life is still worth a dime
The air is filled with children's cackles
They do not yet know that they're walking with shackles
If your skin resembles a paper bag's hue
Understand you can't live as the other kids do
He looked like trouble, don't blame me
His guns, loaded, were candy and tea
