Being Black Is Scary… it really is sometimes. Black people should not have to fear for their lives while praying in church, wearing a hoodie, running through a neighborhood, or while shopping for groceries. Even though I have been Black all my life it takes time to truly understand that there is cost to being Black. This song was inspired by the recent mass shooting in Buffalo, NY that led the inhumane deaths of 10 innocent black lives. The song is heavy, and second verse details a captivating story of a man who is essentially perfect, but that does not shield him from being victim of racial discrimination.
