Here I am walking on the "over"ground
"hell"road swinging low at the plymouth rock
trying to find the tablets of Moses
that gave the rules before the CONstitution
pilgrim scribed program prohibiting the
false pursuit of happiness and freedom enslaving
us in prostitution / cotton field coated screams
land hard breaking down dreams of harriet /
whose got the chariot? Uncle Sams standing at roadside
cause I'm thinking "vehicular homicide"
bullets dipped in spermicide placed in guns
of genocide 'cause my genes are dominent physical
characteristics more prominent than european
genes two sizes to small so we are placed in a
caboose on the "Over"ground "Hell"road taken
to the Amerikkkan melting pot to drown in "Colored" green
juice water strained through BENJAMINS but "it's
all about the benjamins tarbaby" thats what
Mis Justice is singing / harmonizing a hypnotizing
disjointed anthem also known as the requiem for
the demise of the misguided / genetics dominent
full lips and big hips / melanin and slow aging skin
with a dash of rhythm is the way we livin'

"but ain't no credit given"

So we're fed "diversity" which is a curse word
to me cause it
insults me when we are pulled in this uneven fold
let the truth be told if white folks say that they
are the only ones that need this fixin' then they
have to admit they have this self-administered disease called racism
blak folks were forced to be diverse by
riding in the back of the middle passage hearse
that's why some of our souls are dead
claiming blue or red but shooting black
adding numbers to the 15 million post-attacked
and jacked from Africa here to ameri KKK a
so pour a little "pot liqour" on the curb

we are riding in the caboose of a train
on the "Over"ground "Hell"road drinking 40's and
listening to played out trav(hell) music of Abraham
Lincoln reciting the E(white)mancipation
Proclamation spoken over a stolen chuck berry
track by elvis and too many are "all shook up"
that the quarters is crowded and hellshocked
****** is fightin' before death cause somebody's
shoe got stepped on while "cotton" patching to
the music / too many
negros trapped in anthem lyrics and can't really
hear it so the real message got slept on...that

"Abe didn't free the slaves" but the lies are told
and sold to us in a pristine double bound book
at KKKmart in the Blue light section 8 aisles
and Martha Stewart smiles showing us ways to decorate
our caskets after *** kicks from billyclub toting
police and politicians and they

kiss our babies cause it looks good on tv
and
try to kill our spirit cause you can't see it
on tv
and if they did would they show it?

Only in the caboose of the train
on the "Over"ground "Hell"road.
