The Eye of Primetime
I can't hide my blackness
Nor would I ever try
Yet because of its presence
I may prematurely die
In the eye of the beholder
It appears that I'd done a crime
Constantly looking over my shoulder
Evading the cameras of primetime
Nor would I ever try
Yet because of its presence
I may prematurely die
In the eye of the beholder
It appears that I'd done a crime
Constantly looking over my shoulder
Evading the cameras of primetime

Always the villain.
If you're a preacher
If you're a doctor
If you're a professor
Even if you're the President
If non violence gets you killed
And violence gets you killed
Then take someone with you
If you're a preacher
If you're a doctor
If you're a professor
Even if you're the President
If non violence gets you killed
And violence gets you killed
Then take someone with you
