incarcerated
incapacitated
by the pressure
life precipitated
judged
with jaundiced eyes
by a jury not intergrated
initiated
n2
an institution
by Slavery Incorportated
relatin 2 my Brother
while he tryin 2 get me
liquidated
thinkin back
2 when being black
wasn't N-rated
purity
bein
poisoned
by
P---y
acts
premeditated
a fair won
no son
guns make ya feel
liberated
you kill
4 the thrill
until
the future is
incinerated
STRAIGHT FADED!!
n2 books that will
make our HIS-story
a mystery
2 most
from
coast 2 coast
silly cats like 2 boast
bout gettin riches
callin queens B----s
and champagne toasts
the state is the host
and black men are the most honored guests
the Willie Lynch Theory
manifest
like Elliot Ness
thinkin we Untouchable
embracin gansta gods
sayin F--k
Cliff Huxtable
kool posin
slippin on bananna peels
feels like I'm lookin
at them old Black-face reels
sellin crack
that
back
tracks
n2
black
viens
criminally insane
positive proud brothers
step up so we can change the game
I ain't spoutin Malcolm
or tryin 2 sprinkle
talcum
powda
just attemptin 2 blow up
I-Phones
in 3 time zones
from my router
try 2 silence me
gotta still me
kill me
and like magic
I will reappear
I have no fear
death b-4 dishonoring Blackness
when the time is near
and even if i die
my words will shout
I'M STILL HERE!!!
