Just my view of society

By the age your able to walk and talk as a black man you have already been labeled
Treated as if we're processed food items on a shelf that's overstocked
They can't wait to throw us out or lock us into the back where no one can get to us
Yes they give us crooked smiles now but no one really sees how crooked you really are
But I see your reflection, its just a mere image of me
Except your blue collar and me I'm Timberlands with a white tee
Your a wanna be regulator but are deep down perpetrators
Smh
See its crazy how this whole society thing works
Were all supposed to be equal
Haha that's a joke
I can't even walk down the sidewalk with my hoody on without getting questioned my name
Why can't you just let us be
We've already been enslaved and were the workhorses and backbone of this country, but nothing is never good enough
Just look around we're people to
