“Wow! It’s a Black Girl!”
You just noticed?
Oh, I’m sorry
You must be a novice
I is what I is
Though I know what it is
Let me make it very clear
I know what I am
Wam! Bam!
Thank you, ma’am!
Just thought I’d let you know
If you gave a ****
But you clearly don’t
Still stuck on a rap lyric
I don’t...
I am
The length of the Nile
The runner’s mile
The wonderful feeling
That makes you smile
I am
The heart of a lion
The belt of Orion
The embodiment
The epitome of Zion
I am
The depths of the ocean
Centripetal Motion
The soul that consumes
And is full of devotion
Lotion
Cocoa butter
Shea cream...
Pastor Take-Yo-Money
Lookin’ real good
Says Jesus will save
Everyone in the hood
Just a couple dollars
A few hallelujahs
Then you’re saved
Salvation has come to ya
Sing, choir, sing!
Touch our souls
Get the pastor ready
To perform his role
He spits good words
None from the bible
But they sound...
Why gain the world
If I will lose my soul?
Lose my peace?
Take on a false role?
Should I be myself?
Or be a good slave?
Appease my master
Until I cave?
What’s to gain
If I live in vain?
Why live a lie
I can’t maintain?
A slave to the system
Calamity’s victim
My soul cries
My soul wants freedom...
N-gger
N-gger
No good n-gger
N-gger
N-gga
That’s my N-gga!
Such an ugly word
With an uglier past
Prettied up
Given a pass
N-I-G-G-E-R
N-I-G-G-A
Spell it different
And it ain’t the same today
It becomes your best friend
Or your favorite lover
Once you take the word
And give it a cover
Useless...
Black skin so pure
I wouldn't dare lose my value
Ruin my skin?
I wouldn"t dare with a tattoo
You wouldn’t put a bumper sticker
On a luxury car
So why would I give my skin
An inked out scar?
But the artist in me screams
“See the beauty!”
So I submitted to the needle
I let it do its duty
Words of...
Brown skin
Ebony eyes
Chocolate love
Will mesmerize
Smooth and warm
Contact is pleasant
There’s nothing like now
Nothing like the present
To leave this place
Would surely be tragic
But I’m not one
To break the magic
Nights with him
Make my day
And I wouldn’t have it...
Baby Momma’s
Reality dramas
That’s the Black woman of today
Comma
Daddy’s with cash
A man to smash
That’s the Black man of today
Dash
Womanizer
Local drug dealer
And ulimately
Dream killers
Being black today
Ain’t what it used to be
King Jr. would be sad
If he...
That new purse
And designer clothes
Would make life better
Like a rhythmic prose
A tune so sweet
It’ll make hardship seem glorious
A dream achieved
Would be victorious
A new whip
A daddy for the babies
Bills always paid
Never living in maybe
Dreaming
Dreaming
Tired...
You were more than a breath of fresh air
You touched my soul
You fed my spirit
You made me whole
Then you broke me
You fed me lies
You crushed my heart
You made me cry
You cast me away
You weren't moved by my tears
You called me a curse
And inspired all my fears
Yet love remains
But I'm in pain...
