Sweet Child

Sweet black child
Please beware
There's a wolf in the woods
And you are the hare

Should you be cornered
Hold very still
Don't excite the predator
And you might not be killed

Wish there were better advice
For living with the wolf
I love you
Please make it home safe

Sweet white child
Don't be a cop
You can't change the system from the bottom
When the top is corrupt and protected
You'll never have a choice
If you wanna serve community you're gonna need a voice

Some free advice for ya rookie
Better know who's got your back
I love you
Please make it home intact

When i was a child
I though everyone was Jesus
And Doctor King had died to help save us from racists
I believe the arc of the universe is bent toward justice

I love you so, it must be
