Manchild in the Promised Land(Claude Brown)
Hour glass broke
Spilled my sand
Depression
Depressed my diaphram
So how can I be a better man?

My pride was strong
My mind flexed
Then the library started pushin black sex
Constricting my cerebral cortexAnd the Walls Came Tumbling Down(Ralph Abernathy)
I didn't even hear the sound
Was seduced by Surround
Madden 10
LCD
Touchdown!!Their Eyes Were Watching God(Zora Neale Hurston)
Their ears attuned 2 I-Pods
Chillin in the Quad

But shots rang out
So I had 2 runThe Fire Next Time(James Baldwin)
2 busy workin on rap rhymes
Placed it where I could find
And left it way behindThings Fall Apart(Chinua Achebe)
Not at the start
But somehow we depart
From the African-American heartThe Wretched of the Earth(Franz Fanon)
Should've been my rebirth
But me, Tone, Monster and Murph
