A quick key...I hope I still win


Kindergarden



Going to school daily, other parents look an stare
I feel like the bearded lady forced to work at the fair
Their eyes piercing my skin as I greet my parents
The reason for this attention is nonapparent
Remaining constant strait thru grade school
But as my peers an I grew, they become cruel


5th grade



They'd mock me, for things I couldn't comprehend
Ranking on my complexion became a trend
Even teachers made smug remarks about it
A repressed inner rage I daily touted
I started noticing differences in me & my folks
Our family was similar to different strokes
My hair was coarse an theirs was strait
An with the other kids like me I couldn't relate

8th Grade



Now suspicions about my origins arose
I was curious, are they my real folks? or is it a pose
I thought I was crazy needing mental help
Cuz these suspicions aren't supposed to be felt
But they persisted, an I just had to know
I was ready for the most devestating blow
I built my courage and got it set in my mind
Approached my folks and said,"Oh. nevermind"


12th grade



I am aware of the fact their white, I'm black
But them not being my folks, could fathom that
But my denial was finally broken on this day
They sat across from me, I knew what they're gonna say
They broke the news, that I awaited my whole life
But it still crippled me, my stomach didn't feel right
I felt betrayed, I'd been lied to my whole lifetime
They raised me but didn't have same DNA as mine
I felt assaulted like they'd commited a crime
Speechless, breatheless had to clear my mind
I ran out the house, an bolted down the street
Caught the attention of a cop walking the beat
He chased me, grabbed me, slammed me to ground
Then said as he cuffed me, "nigga who'd u rob now"
"Nobody," I said, "yea I doubt that," he replied
Didn't put me in car, pulled me in alley off to side
An beat me with his night stick in savange manner
I blacked out an awoke to a get well soon banner
An there they were asleep at my bed side
Put everything in perspective, I happily cried
