Mulatto

Energy is mixing, that we're never supposed to be Feuds are starting, but dying down just the same I am the product of the change I didn't ask to be here, so how could you blame me For being something that was never meant to be How can you not see, I am not the problem I am the solution, a racial revolution Born of two halves that were feuding Some call me a hybrid, others a mistake But one must not be made I embody both sides of the coin I am not one or the other I am not my father or my mother I am a tough pill to swallow Some may call me a mulatto Call me what you will You will not kill my soul or my spirit So go ahead and shun me Still my ancestors speak through me I can hear them chanting perfectly They tell me the secrets of the past and what lays beyond And they let me know I embody both sides of the coin I am not one or the other I am not my father or my mother I am a tough pill to swallow Some may call me a mulatto I am the connection between the past and the future I am the mulatto I embody both sides of the coin I am a product of today's society
