b'ham (birmingham, al)
we're barracaded in a state of confusion
this mental cell block
got cerebellum on lock
should make us want to **** the glock and blast
pow!
send bullet through the *** of a cash cow
should make us wonder how
our ancestors will be vindicated
for being dehumanized and degraded
but instead we shake it
i mean our assess in these sexist videos
in the spirit of bed winches, we're still being massa's hoe
we're rocking hilfiger
for all the field n*****
**** concentrating on getting our own figures
we want that ice
on the strength of those who suck on glass pipes
turning kings and queens into moraless fiends with pipe dreams
that makes them hypes
and for those who lost their life
instead of memorializing their name
we defile our african ancestry by denouncing it in shame
we'll be pawns in this game
until the day that we die
bodies on ocean floor in vain
while we commit cultural suicide.
 
First of all, your intricate and subtle references to the middle passage to present day paper chasing was very well done. The style carries so much weight as the flow carries the rhythm of your heart felt cadence. I know you won't get the props like you should because how hard you bring it, but the realest heads in the house will always recognize how you instill the virtues of our ancestors through your poetry. Stay with us and believe me when I say, someone will gather from your words, no doubt, whether they conciously realize it -or say, in reflection. That shitz was tiiiiiiiiiiiiight. Let it be known.
