Afraid

Once I was afraid of the dark Now I'm just simply scared I'm I not dark enough Even though deep inside I have the deepest pride In melanin skin I am black I am men I am afraid I am afraid if they see me with the difference The yin yang When the dark meets light When a man A black man steps outside Will he be crucified Why should I Especially when in it was hard for me To sift through the maybes And No's You ain't ill enough for me Where do you you expect me to go All I want is love All a man A good man wants is love But I'm afraid Afraid of being broken in half Telling me I'm not black enough I look just like you I can only when it's convenient for you I'm afraid That's why I've always said love whenever You're ready Because I don't want hate
