You Don't Know Me - Mikill Pane

A negro boy takes steps towards a white man

Looks him in the eye and extends his right hand

The caucasian holds the black guys gaze

While he calmly says «get out of my way»

The black boy doesn’t want to show he’s so scared

That he could wet himself so he says «I'm going nowhere»

The white man barges the black boy so hard

He staggers across the room and falls back on the sofa

The black boys eyes fill with tears of rage

But they’re wiped away before they go near his face

By a white hand, the owner screams «you'll hurt him that’s enough»

The voice belongs to the girl that he loves

And she loves him to so she wants to protect him

She spent months trying to get her pops to accept him

But the white man seems stuck in his ways

The negro boy gets up and exclaims

«You don’t know me

How can you be so against me?

So unfriendly?

Tell me what I’ve done

If you’ve got issues then just say so

You don’t know me

I’m only asking you to accept me

And respect me

Give me just one chance

I’ve got to much to lose to let you say no»

The white man doesn’t wanna talk about it

Just as he’s about to start walking out his

Daughter tells him he’s an awful coward

And says she’d be alot better off without him

The white man spins around eyes all wild

And says to his daughter «you're my only child

You know what I’m about you could have done the right thing

But no you had to go and drag home scum like him

I won’t be here to guide you forever but I’m telling you

Before it’s to late that you should try and do

Better

All my friends have said I’ve lost my mind and they’ve had enough

They know my princess is with a guy if this caliber

And sometimes I try to ignore him

But get an uncontrollable urge to knock his lights out and floor him

I can’t believe he took my princess from me

So I don’t feel guilty when he says to me

You don’t know me

How can you be so against me?

So unfriendly?

Tell me what I’ve done

If you’ve got issues then just say so

You don’t know me

I’m only asking you to accept me

And respect me

Give me just one chance

I’ve got to much to lose to let you say no"

The white girls inherited the black boys tears

Now he holds her and tells the white man «you're gonna hear

Me out, I can’t believe that I was actually afraid of you

I see you’re daughter and wonder how that being came from you

You’re disgusting and pathetic

Somebody must have said it

Before and if you think I want you’re love you can forget it

I’m a straight A student, I’ve never been arrested

But you still hate my kind for the complexion we were blessed with

We can never all live happily

Because you think my race are just the lowest form of humanity

And thats just a tragedy

For you not for???

You’ll die bitter we’ll have a beautiful family»

The white man looks the black boy in the eye

And says «everything he said was pointless

Why?

It’s not because you’re black that I don’t want you near my daughter

It’s cause you’re an arsenal fan, I’m a tottenham supporter»

You don’t know me

How can you be so against me?

So unfriendly?

Tell me what I’ve done

If you’ve got issues then just say so

You don’t know me

I’m only asking you to accept me

And respect me

Give me just one chance
