how black is black enough?

[wridacule]

car doors lock and purses grip tight
guess i'm the just right shade of color of brother
but the convo stops and the homeboys look like
why'd i approach "whos this motherf*cker?!"
young sisters get blisters because they walk too fast
my words sink like a ship before i can cast off
my street cred is a neg so on me they pass
to mock me is a rocket that got cleared for blast off
my aunts n uncles ask if whites my type
i say i don't choose i'm chosen my options are open
'cept now my ladies remembering everyone she ever wanted to fight
now my souls frozen and for peace i'm hopin'
outside of both sides disgusted at looking within
so purgatory's my story chapter after chapter
but i accept my role n don't want it to end
though i'm not black enough, i don't wanna be no blacker

Deep, meaningful, nice, etc. but all the same talks in Poems. Nothing to positive such as making a change or how the world reflects you and not skin, sometimes always the Neg outlook on life, specifically being judge of skin. < Not aim towards anyone.... Rambling.... The world has twisted the minds of individuals and it needs to be change.
