WHITE PEOPLE ARE KINGS THEY CLAIM THIS EARTHLY PLAIN
HIDING BEDSHEET MASKS BEHIND THEIR PEARLY WHITE TEETH /WITH PALE KNUCKLES CLENCHED TIGHT TILL THEY TURN THE COLOR OF BLOOD / THEY RULE US WITH AN IRON FIST THEY ENGRAVE FEAR ON OUR TOMBSTONES / POLICE OFFICERS JUSTIFYING BLEEDING BLACK BOYS BECAUSE KNOW THEY'LL GET AWAY WITH IT
BLACK WOMEN WERE ONCE BEAUTIFUL LIKE THE DAZZLING STARS; THEY WERE DIAMONDS UNDERNEATH A PILE OF PLASTIC PEARLS BUT THEY WERE ROBBED OF THEIR PRIDE & JOY BEATEN AND RAPED AND ENSLAVED AND TORTURED ALL THE WHILE THE WHITE GIRLS HAVE THE AUDACITY TO CALL THEM GHETTO
BLACK MEN STRUGGLING KNEE DEEP; TRUDGING THROUGH RACIAL TENSIONS AND HIGHER POWERS AND THAT ALMIGHTY CROSSROAD TURN TO THE LEFT NO YOURE OTHER LEFT YEAH NOT THE ONE THAT SAY "DOCTOR" OR "LAYWER" OR HELL, EVEN "PROSPEROUS" BUT THE ONE ON THE FAR END OF TOWN WHERE GHOSTS HAUNT AND SLAVES RUN WILD THE ONE CALLED "THUG" THE ONE CALLED "CRIMINAL" THE ONE CALLED "POVERTY"
CANT EVEN REMEMBER OUR OWN NAMES BUT WE JUST KNOW WE AINT USED TO BE LIKE THIS BUT THIS IS WHAT THEY CALL US
AS THEIR PALE WHITE HANDS RIP AWAY OUR CULTURES OUR FREEDOMS OUR DASHING BOYS AND OUR MARVELOUS GIRLS FEAR IS WHAT THEY PERSUADE FEAR IS WHAT THEY ENGRAVE
I TASTE LIKE AMERICAN SOIL AND SLAVERY, CANT YOU TELL?
