“You’re
totally disconnected from reality, don’t believe in dreams… Since when did
black men become kings?” -Jay-z; Rapper
Is this Martin's dream
Every night a different crime scene
Kids killing kids
Men leaving wives
We putting money over everything!
Is this what Malcolm wanted?
When he said we could reach greater heights... Did he mean blunted?
By any means necessary
But we don't do what's necessary
We only pro black when a white man kills one of us... & in February
Is this the best we can do
Positive blacks are few
Think about it
Oscar Grant or Trayvon Martin
Could've been you
Oprah too
What do you aspire to be?
They gave us guns and drugs 30yrs ago
We still on a killing spree
Am I real enough?
Do I care too much?
I mean shouldn't more cross my mind
Than my last fuck.... & my last buck
Or the next of each
Fuck giving a speech
But I have a dream to make it better for my son
I can't control the world
But for him, it starts with me
Is this the change Barack promised
Gas prices been high the last 6 summers
My pops job still temporary
This economy took his pride from him
Sometimes I wanna cry for him
Wake up everyday with drive for him
Thankful everyday that I can provide for him
Lord knows I would die for him
Rosa Parks sat down to take a stand
Not so black girls can fight over men
Or for attention, social mentions
Baby girl it's more to life than that bottle
You know your daughter gone finish what you started?
Good or bad, better or worse
Don't let your beauty be a curse
Don't leave you drive in a hearse
If you know better will you do better
I just got to believe
Despite how much you like what's between your knees pleased
You should want to really succeed
In the end we can blame politics
But in reality we allow the shit
I don't know what's killing us quicker
Reality tv or gun clips
Maybe I'm overthinking
Maybe I'm channeling Lincoln
Cuz I hate to see us still slaves
Cuz we let them beat us
Just my thoughts...
