The Suburbs

A lot of black people live [here]

And they – got big houses

And the houses all look kind of

the same

And they – got

big yards

And they –

got driveways

And everybody

got they own car

And they –

got bay windows

And

chandelier lighting

And

entryway staircases

And they –

got security systems

And they –

kids go to private schools

And have sweet sixteens

And they –

kids are star athletes

And they –

kids score 1500+ on the SATs

And they –

not the first person in

they family to go to college

And they –

wave at they black neighbors

And they –

go to see black doctors

And they –

buy from black grocers

And give dollars to

black homeless people

And they drive over black potholes filled by

Black construction workers

And attend PTA meetings

lead by black principles

And they –

get stopped by black cops

And still…

And still [we] are not safe.
