I try to figure out but I don't understand
What makes one man better then another man
I try to figure out if there's something I can do
To change the way u see me and I see u
The color of my skin, unlike the color of my eyes
Is getting me in trouble, costing me a hefty price
I try to stay away from all those sacred clans
I'll try to stay in town, I'll try to make a stand
Heads down, make sure your head's down
Don't get to this town, face down
Face down, make sure u stay down
Don't stay in town, heads down
If u look in to my eyes, u will see the color blue
If I look at u I'll see a human who is living in this town
Like I live every day
Trying to survive, trying to find his way
If u are looking at my skin u see the color black
We better look ahead then look back
We better make this town a better place to live in
Cuz what u are going to get, is what u are giving
Heads down, make sure your head's down
Don't get to this town, face down
Face down, make sure u stay down
Don't stay in town, heads down
