Black All Day
Color - This poem is saying be proud of the color of your skin.
The Alarm Clock - The alarm reminded her of a time she went to the store and was told blacks are not served there. She says why be so eager to wake up to face this problem again.

Man I Thought You was Talking Another Language that Day - This Spanish man wasn't born here but is facing the same prejudice as blacks.

You Are Loved, Awake or Dreaming
