Racism

What's wrong with the world now can't you see.
People living in their own little fantasy.
Trying to go ahead and show you they can give you hate
Have u looked in the dictionary lately.
I say that racism really hurts me,
To see these people just like me 
Walking around with their head dropped really low 
Only God knows what the future holds.

You know discrimination's a disease... 
Gonna try to grab and pull you by the sleeve.
But you gotta try to be the one that makes a change 
show the world that everybody can be brave. 
All these people gotta stop, stare, look and see...
How racism takes over every, single, body.
Whatever happened to the values of humanity. 
Whatever happened to fairness and equality. 
You know we gotta be a nation with strong unity 
and spread love and make it history. 
Do you know?
That's the only real question here.
