I got dissed in Black and White today

Because to them I'm a shade of gray.

Too pale for comfort, too dark to be a friend

A light too bright to ignore but not bright enough to follow

The heat of my heart blazed through my arms

And it was all my hands could do to contain the rage

As sparkling visions of crimson danced in my mind

But then gray won the war and I'm left painting

A picture in Black And White.
