the idea of reparations
tops the current list of black awareness
157 years too late
where is the fairness?
should the poor white man pay
for what went on long before his day
energy used marching for slavery reparations
would be better suited
for a march on the department of education
do you think money
will make us welcome in this land
without being an educated people
the money we recieve
will only end up
back in the white man's hand
are we so inept
we can't make it without another form of handout
billions of dollars in social programs
already spent
look at us
did it go to waste?
in 2002 who is to blame
for a situtation we helped create
reparations
a logistical nightmare
divisive in nature
seperative in deed
my brothers and sisters
there's so much more than money we need
when will we realize
it has to be about us
they don't give a ****
they didn't then
they surely don't now
reparations won't happen
no way, no how
