Color Blind

A photo of a man wearing an American flag blindfold.

I’m color blind, I don’t see color
If I like ya’ then I like ya’
If I love ya’ then I love ya’

I don’t care how you look
If you clean if you cook
Or if you just wrote a book

I don’t care about your status
I seen poor people happy
I seen rich people the saddest

I don’t see color.
If you black, if you white
Man, you still my little brother

See I was taught to respect
The good in people’s hearts
And never to disrespect

See one of my best friends was white
we never had a fight
he never called me “nigga”
he never made me cry

It’s kind of crazy
‘Cause inside we the same
We got a heart we got a brain
Red blood, blue veins

I wear sun shades
To block the negative rays
I see through people’s frowns
I block their negative ways

If you turn off the light
We the same color at night
If you dark, if you light
If you slow, if you bright.

I see good in the worst
But it hurt when you cursed
Stop calling me names
‘Cause I am not to blame

See, one of my best friends was poor.
We never knew what for
He never had a bed
He slept on the floor

My family gave him food
My family bought him clothes
The dirt don’t even matter
Long as a flower grows

I love all people
I wish that we could be equal
But just ‘cause we equal
Does that make us evil?

I saw the devil in church
He gave me a smirk
He said God was a racist
Said he came from the dirt

But my grandma always told me
About the power of prayer
Looked that racist in the eyes
Gave him a powerful stare

‘Cause I don’t see color
If I like ya’ then I like ya’
If I love ya’ then I love ya’
I’m color blind
