I am african american
yes i am a human being
i am under privlaged
I come from police sirens and robberies
from drugs and violence
from gangs and weapons
yes i am afraid,afraid of what i will become
I do know the meaning of wrong and right
and i do follow the crowd
I am my own person
but yes i do fall in the shadow of others
No im am not easily influenced
but yes i want to fit in
I am my own person
yes i stand alone
i fight and struggle everyday
walking the streets is challenge
but I am my own person
yes i have experienced death and it is not a pleasent thing
i ma scared
I am who god made me and i will always be that person
I am african amercian in the streets of New wark
