Just Because i'm African-American
Mason Mackie
Just because I’m African-American
Doesn’t mean I belong in the NBA
Doesn’t mean I can’t swim
And doesn’t mean my favorite genre of music is rap
Just because I’m African-American
Doesn’t mean I love KFC
Doesn’t mean I’m the Kool-Aid man
And doesn’t mean I know every urban dance move
Just because I’m African-American
Doesn’t mean drugs are my source of income
Doesn’t mean I’ll steal your shoes
And doesn’t mean I don’t value my education
Just because I’m African-American
Why run a separate race?
Is your race shorter than mine?
Where is the finish line?
Just because I'm different than you.
