Brian K. Lundy, Jr.

My friend the black boy
You don’t give a second a look
Let’s you think that he’s a cruel
Why you shakin'?
My friend the black boy
He gave his life for you, he did
I’ve got the proof, I’ve got some pics
And still you judge him
Should he hang up on the cross
Would that make you feel his loss
Need a book to show you how to feel right
Maybe I should say his name
Shout it out and make his claim
Give him light
I don’t see color, I see tone
And I think you got it wrong
Maybe when my daughter’s grown
The world would spin right
My friend the black boy
I’m so sorry I never called
You gave your life, you gave your all
You gave your all
I see you wishin' we had talked
About the times when we were young
Sittin' bored under the sun, a friend that I see as one
His name was-
