Please don’t call me Negrito
Cause that is not my name
Could you not call me Negrita?
Cause I’m not playing that racist game
Referring to me as a color
You may think is without much ado
Yet how would you feel
If it was to happen to you
Repeat what my parents call me
Nothing more or nothing less
Showing me a modicum of respect
Tells me you’re at your best
