Changing Phases

Naughty by Nature

By William DasherPublished 5 years ago โ€ข 2 min read

Sometimes I miss the days being in the womb

Color blind

Nothing but a blank mind

Nothing to find

Clueless in time

Just it

Changing Phases

Out the womb crying crazy

Eye sight

Seeing bright lights

But the vision Black and grayish

I don't know how to feel

I'm just blinking

Changing Phases

Lately

I went from crying crazy

To talking and moving crazy

Feeling the warmth in my skin

emotions seems right

Eye sight solid colored in

Looking at my veins

All I see is blue

Thinking to myself

Wondering if this truth

While gazing at the sky

Changing Phases

I've been changing lately

Learning the color I love so much

Growing up thinking it could be so true

But at the same time cruel

Gang bangers claim it

Police status ranked in

Abandoned us

Results

Killing my color skin

Labeling as a black man

Being attacked

Because I was opposite from the white men

Black doesn't mean dirty disgusting shaded

Or unwanted

I was made to be something

Solid and powerful

Within

Three fifths of a person

No

A whole man times 10

Then again

Really look at the color of my skin

Brown all over

Carmel flavor

I'm Very complex

Protons neutrons electrons

Made out of 3 triple 6 elements

Yes

We're created out of Atoms without eve

Before roots we were seeds

Before leaves we were trees

So my feet will stay planted

Because we are born to never leave

Understand this please

Because I look at white

As a sign of peace

I know I don't look like you

Or you look like me

Why war on color just to bleed for Greed

We succeed common ground with white paper written with

black ink

Just think

Blend black and white

mixed babies don't come out colored gray paint

Just think

Please come out those cloudy minds

Bad energy causes cloudy skies

These colors are beautiful to me

Don't mess up my beautiful vibes

Because in the skies

It can get naughty by nature
