Double consciousness
The psychological challenge we face as we look at ourselves
Through the eyes of a racist society
Image versus identity is the conundrum
It's further perplexed by the fact that we can't even agree on our name
As a black father, I fight with my five-year-old daughter as she says
"We are brown and they are pink"
And in her defense, she views the world with a version optic
As I view the world through the stained glass of history
That questions whether I'm even human
The psychological challenge we face as we look at ourselves
Through the eyes of a racist society
Image versus identity is the conundrum
It's further perplexed by the fact that we can't even agree on our name
As a black father, I fight with my five-year-old daughter as she says
"We are brown and they are pink"
And in her defense, she views the world with a version optic
As I view the world through the stained glass of history
That questions whether I'm even human
