I don't know why I'm scared
I've been here before
I've seen this room
I've walked this floor
I don't know why I'm afraid
I'm sure I've been here before
In the same trapped room
With the same locked door
I don't know why I try
To be white
To be clear
To be clever
I don't know why!
So don't ask why!
I hate those who ask why!
Why why why why why!
I don't know why
They ask why
Why would you want to know?
Why...?
I don't know the rivers
I don't know the earth
So why ask why?
It's been this way since birth!
White
Black
Pink
Brown
I don't know why everything has a name!
What's in a name?
A Rose by any other name would smell as sweet...
But they tell me, that's not how you play the game.
It doesn't matter where you come from
It doesn't matter where you go
The iron curtains in the east
But the west's as bad as all.
Life is a game
And the White man wins
They always win
They kill to win...
Chin up they tell me
Stand tall they say
Get shot tomorrow
Grow old today
I don't know why I'm black
I don't know why I'm here
I don't know why I'm alive
What is my purpose here?
