Her Schedule

It's not often that we get to see each other. I'm hoping that it's only for now.
sometimes I wish your parents understood, or maybe they weren't so racist
seclusion comes with the culture, I'm assuming
It's funny because when I said that in the lunch line, a white girl looked and she laughed
how could the parents of a black girl hate another black man?
I'm assuming it's because we seem lost
You see, Her parents don't believe in dating, so it seems that
every time she leaves they're waiting,
they don't want us... to be meant to be
they would rather have an African son to breed
so instead of coming to terms that they aren't back home
they denounce American culture, the all-American vultures
Can't trust the Americans, you know about how they kidnap?
but in Nigeria they take little girls and get fast
Is that offensive? Maybe that would be the intention
but you can't hate another culture without mutual intervention
So now her schedule is booked, education is the main goal
the ACT, SAT, the TNT I might explode
I could say I'm insecure, try to be the new Romeo and Juliet
but I believe in the beauty of life
I hate to tell her when she's wrong, I know she doesn't know any better
I'm her first boyfriend so I'm trying to do it right
but it hurts sometimes when she's naive in a way
so I bite my tongue instead, at least... until the next day
Like that time another guy asked her If I was gay?
Didn't make sense that my girlfriend couldn't defend me
Or when we talk in the hall and someone else says hi, suddenly I'm gone, sitting on the sidelines
I'm selfish and I want your attention but you ain't giving it
there are more important things, in life, in life... for now
but 20 years down the line when school is gone
and the friends don't care
who's supposed to be there?
Don't you think about the future chad, don't you do it
This is who we are and who we are goes far but right now I have to focus on this school and this work
and these college applications, making in I get in first and even though we only talk for 20 minutes everyday I promise you I'm still gonna make some time to say hey, and did I mention, by the way that I joined another club so I'm coming home at 6 and you wake up when it's 1.
Chad, please, let me try
I promise we'll get better but it seems it never works so I'm feeling like the weather.
I'm feeling so much better now that senior year is here, so when we graduate I promise that I'll always be near.
-Then college has to come. That's 8 more years away.
I'm glad that I love you how I do otherwise we would've strayed.
