Be Happy (Smile for Equality)

Cause I got a dream, I'm dreaming hard

 

Yo, yo, this my Race in America class rap...

...

I know, ya boy Trizzy sure is a class act...

I'm messing with ya'

 

Wishing peeps would understand, they act like we is under them

I find myself chasing ghosts, wishing M L K was one of them

Equality doesn't exist if you don't think I'm one of you

Fighting to be treated equally is everything I wanna do

It's not so thrilling to be feeling like they don't want my feelings

Feelings spilling, always willing to be villains killing

Think we always stealing, fifty years since racial healings

If a black man touch a white girl, there'll be facial peelings

Like there's no such thing as interracial oxytocin

Discriminated left to overdose on supposed potions

The sixties' passion caused my devotion, emotions woven

Here's a personal notion that's been stuck in my emotions

Can't trust cops no more when they all carry hot Glocks

Cops'll prolly cut me up, making my t-shirt a croptop

I can't sleep when the idea hit my brain, knock knock

I'm saying the last black with a dream got shot

 

Cause I got a dream, I'm dreaming hard

 

I can't help at times, but be a little vulnerable

I do fear institutionalized threats so formidable

These threats coming hard, too; our system is so horrible

Deplorable to see these privileges ain't adorable

Put on our shoes for a moment, see why I'm so devoted

My words is spoken, maybe these riots are ab omen

I'm tired of representing my community since I'm a token

The system always keeping me from being loaded

Everyone's just so unjust have you read Just Mercy?

Bryan Stevenson, fighting for justice, great attorney

But rich white men in the system always stay so thirsty

We are so serious about this, this is a journey

If you're serious too, I want you to woman or man up

Don't try to undermine us, just try to understand us

I'm tired of my brothers and sisters always having their hands up

So stand up, I mean it literally, I want you stand up
