Ebony quotes lines from a magazine
Lightening his complexion with his stride
His diction is a racist to his struggle

His three- piece suits laugh at do-rags
Trading hi-fives for phony handshakes
Processed mind damaged roots to his past

He wears makeup to hide his suntan
Cuts his nose off to spite the African
Acceptance was the plan

Ebony’s an athlete with track marks of insecurities
A slave escaping his grave just to tell Master on me
The boy who painted blue eyes on his mama’s dreams
The man who traded his ebony soul for an ivory society

He likes his women blonde with no opinion
Never nappy with supportive ambition
His first girlfriend put the fist on his pick
His wife burned flesh with revolutionary whips

Ebony says sisters are too sassy and confident
Money hungry for a paycheck
But when you’re rich
I don’t see tem spending it!

Black history is the day he got away with murder in the first degree
My sisters and brothers please come and save me
Walk with me
Talk with me
Now is the time for black unity
At least until the jury votes, “not guilty”!
