When? Here comes that big black dude again You know the one that is always beating up on me Says because I’m white and I Was a black slave owner (WAS) Approaching me with hatred in his eyes Moving aside, everyone in the school hall know his intentions Like them I also know what to expect I say to myself - “ When have I ever owned somebody ? I don’t even own myself.†So I talk to my owner saying - “ Lawd, please let'em walk by don’t let ‘em stop to hit me you know I hurt easy†My voice doesn’t reach up fast enough and he hits me Says because I’m white and I Was a black slave owner (WAS) But I still can’t remember when I emancipated anyone?
