To be able to camouflage
In a black and white world
Seems only apparent
To those trapped between it
Although fingers point, both black and white
You're safe for now, for this fight
It's a free ride
Like superheroes, you have advantages
The best of each and the faults of them combined
In the war we are in
You are always on the winning side
But this seems only apparent
To those trapped between it
We are the gray area
Between moral dilemmas and freedom of choice
Caught between "Niggas"
And high heels and blonde curls
To be more black than Africans
And more white than Caucasians
Mark more than one ethnic box
Because we have none of our own
This seems only apparent
To those trapped between it
Nevertheless, neither side will listen
Nor claim us in their clan
We are the mutt no one can figure out
Or the consequences some can do without
A whole new generation of racism emerges
As they submerge us
Into a new type of subversion
Still we grow strong
Some are hearing our song
But this seems only apparent
To those trapped between it
