Dead To Rights
###########
They’re scared to death of the Black man.
Driven by the worrisome knowledge of
what he is inherently armed with.
Unarmed black man my @ss!
Unarmed black men,
don’t last.
Malcolm advised us to not be hoodwinked.
For overt racism is a means to an end.
Your end and mine.
Unarmed black man my @ss!
Unarmed black men,
don’t last.
That’s because,
they have you dead to rights
we’ve never had in the first place.
Unarmed black man my @ss!
Unarmed black men,
don’t last.
Oh, say can you see
by the dawn’s early light
Unarmed black man my @ss!
Unarmed black men,
don’t last.
