Ethnicity_The Unequal Struggle
They are having pizza, they are having lasagna
But we're compelled to bridge on their baby bits
With costly clothing, they are unable to hide their bodies
And we are invisible even in ripped garments
Those money drunken outwardly wealthy folks are inwardly poor
When they see a white person, they shake hands
But when they catch a black person, they roll their eyes
They revere power and oppress the powerless
They send their children to expensive schools, universities and colleges
Their every legitimate and illegitimate desires get fulfilled
But when the servant asks for his right
They always deny and start questioning them
