Black History

It amazes me
They say all men were created equally 
But that’s denied throughout history
Theirs starts with constitutions revolutions and bravery
They tell us ours is gangs chains and slavery
It’s pretentious 
And I’m offended
You started the race just so you could win it
And they did…well they did
Until we realized that an eagle can’t be judge by its ability to be a pig
False metrics
A ruler being held by media outlets rendering our image helpless
They narrate that our great minds are bipolar, out of order or just selfish 
Encourage us to swallow your dreams 
Beat our women , eat our young and wash it down with the tiniest sips from their revenue stream 
And we say nah
Trick no good
Ms Maya Angelo knew
Sojourner too cause Rosa didn’t move so Mlk can spread the truth
I’m not the smartest man on earth but if I wanna change how history looks
The first thing ima change is what’s explained in our history…books

Long live Babylon America the great its the M night Shyamalan planet of the Apes

 Long live Babylon America the great its the M night Shyamalan planet of the Apes

Here’s the plan it’s no secret raise your hand and give the answer I agree with
Concentration of Indoctrination now we consider him a genius 
Don’t let him look into why Malcolm X wanted to separate 
Keep him chasing his tail in circles as we continue to legislate
Tell the only ones that’s special are the ones that did something first 
Ignore the names of those that change what was broke but now works
You know what’ll really knock ‘em out of competition?!
Tell ‘em their role models are ball players and musicians 
Let’s assassinate all they’re leaders and complain they’re all directionless
Police Kill off they’re strong men n women even though they are weaponless
But keep the freaks in the sheets cuz they women are the sexiest 
Add dope to their communities break down the family structure 
So it’s really sister Vs sister and brother Vs brother
Father out the home is more pressure for the mother
Strong and independent makes her think a pb and j can be jelly without peanut butter

So what makes you think I want a calendar with 28 days
With 28 names
Of 28 slaves 
Lead to 28 graves? I think …..We’d rather have our 40 acres…
