accept the dare to turn to black
while neighbors “woooo” and “waaaah”

and service network nature freaks
who pop-tart you as stars;

hang out and watch like lab rats
with your DNA pretense

paint on your "Blackface.Whiteface"
just don’t smear your common sense;

walk and rap like naturals
eat BBQ with locals--

listen/trash their spoken word
that diss the "black.white" yocals--

then return to bleak reality  
that paid you to perform--

and learn this real life lesson:
self-respect is made, not born.
