I Am NOT Black, You are NOT White

I Am [not] black I Mean that's what the world calls me, but it's not me [I] Didn't come out of my mother's womb saying hey everybody. I'm black No, I was taught to be black And you were taught to call me that along with whatever you call yourself is just a label see from birth the world Force feeds us these labels and Eventually we all swallow them we digest and accept the labels never ever doubting them, but there's one problem Labels are not you and labels are not me labels are just labels But who we truly are is not skin deep? See when I drive my car. No one would ever confuse the car for me Well when I drive my body, why did you confuse me for my body? It's my Body get it not me let me break it down So your bodies are [just] cars that we operate and drive around the dealership. We call society decided to label mine the Black Edition yours the Irish or white edition and with no money [down] zero Percent apr and no test drive. We were forced to own these cars for the rest of our lives Forgive me, but I fail to see the logic or pride in defining myself or judging another by the cars. We drive Because who we truly are is found inside? Listen I'm not here to tell you how science has concluded that genetically We're all mixed in racing the human species doesn't exist or how every historian knows that race was invented in the 15th century to divide people from each other and it has worked perfectly no, I'm Not here to lecture I just want to ask one question Who would you be if the world never gave you a label? Never gave you a box to check Would you be white Black Mexican Asian native American Middle Eastern Indian no? We would be one we will be together No longer living in the error of calling human beings black people or white [people] These labels that will forever blind us from seeing a person for who they [are] but instead seeing them through the judgmental prejudicial artificial filters of who we think they [are] and when you let an artificial label to find yourself Then my friend you have chosen smallness over greatness and minimized your self Confined and divided your self from others And it is an undeniable fact that where there is division there will be conflict and conflict starts Wars Therefore every war [has] started over labels It's always us versus them so the answer to war the racism and sexism and every other ism Is so simple that every politician has missed it? It's the labels We must rip them off Isn't it funny how no baby is born racist yet every baby cries when they hear the cries of another no matter the gender? Culture or color proving the deep dad we were meant to connect and care for each other That is our mission And that is not my opinion that is the truth in the world that has sold us fiction please listen labels only distort our vision which is why half of those watching this will dismiss it or feel resistance and conflicted with Just remember So did the caterpillar? Before it broke through its shell and became the magnificent butterfly well these labels are our shells, and we must do the same thing So we [can] finally spread our wings human beings We're not meant to be slapped with labels like groceries [in] supermarkets Dna cannot be Regulated by the Fda we were meant to be free and only until we remove them all and stop living and thinking so small [will] we be free? To see [ourselves] and each other for [who] we truly are So what can we do in the face [of] all this madness and Chaos what is the solution? We can love trying to control the mind is like trying to flatten out water you just make more waves
