How can I?
Jack Yamat
How can I?
How can I succeed
In a world where the baseline
To success is white?
How can I succeed
In spaces when winning requires
Blonde hair and blue eyes?
How can I succeed
When they all say white is right?
Where does that leave me?
How can I succeed If following the white rules
Lands me in last place?
How can I succeed
In this impossible race?
The formula's white.
How can I succeed?
Dear universe, next time just -
Make sure I'm born right.
How can I succeed
In a world where the baseline
To success is white?
How can I succeed
In spaces when winning requires
Blonde hair and blue eyes?
How can I succeed
When they all say white is right?
Where does that leave me?
How can I succeed If following the white rules
Lands me in last place?
How can I succeed
In this impossible race?
The formula's white.
How can I succeed?
Dear universe, next time just -
Make sure I'm born right.
