..for every time you've heard the word 'no',

for every time you've heard the word 'nigger',

for every time a woman has clutched her purse and crossed the street as you casually walked down the street going about your own business,

for every time society has seen fit to try and put you in your 'place',

for every time you've been categorized and stereotyped,

for every hard day's work you've put in,

for every silent tear you've cried for your children,

for every time you reached out and no one was there,

for each and every time you've had to fight just to be seen as a M-A-N....
