Lyrics
My Disabled Brother of Color
My disabled brother of color
Has it rough
Father gone, could not deal
Mother strong, has to be real
Belong to two communities
Doors slammed and locked
Shocked into reality
Has no identity
My disabled brother of color
On the streets
Dragging his feet
His eyes meet mine
And I can read his mind
Life is long, lonely and tough
If you're a disabled brother
Mother's love is not enough
Sisters want a strong, able brother
Your story and history is shun by society
Confused by what you see on T.V.
No wonder you play down your disability
Am I the only proud disabled brother of color?
My disabled brother of color
Is angry at his brothers and sisters
"F*** you and your pity
What's wrong, do you feel guilty!"
Living and working in a world that doesn't want me
Always under never over
Under the poverty line & pop, pop, pop under attack
My disabled brother of color is OVERWELMED
So what's the answer,
My disabled brother of color?
Are we going to go on not recognizing each other?
Let's come together
Speak our anger
And set this god damn world on fire
Cause you are my brother
By Leroy F. Moore Jr.
