A million white faces



A million white faces Fighting for a million black cases hoping we see a million blacks lace us. A million white faces fighting against a million yellow taser. Hoping they wont erase us for a million white faces. They tell us we supposed to hustle for a million white faces as they lock us in million black cages. While we dream about chasing a million white faces we smile looking in the Mirror at a million white faces as we suffer the hand of the million white racist.
