Derived from the same blood line of the late queens and kings???
But yet, when we look into the new script the scene has changed much indeed
Went from the land of milk honey
To walking the streets where people glance at us funny
Have adults and youth who lack to provide any respect
Toddlers born into this world given so much neglect
And yes there is some unity but in many of the wrong areas
For we get killed if we display the wrong color paraphernalia
Have brothers and sisters in the spotlight reciting the words Niggas and Bitches
Then we have youth wishing they could become famous and emulate their speeches
Strolling the public with clothing half down our rear
Then announcing to the world “This is my identity” just to make it clear
Watching the TV seeing us portrayed as ignorant
And we just sit back and laugh as if…. we believe in it
Quick to pick up a pencil and write about how you would kill a brother
Instead of figuring out a way to lend a helping hand to one another
Have grown men with an elementary mindset
Mid- teen girls with the body of a swimsuit goddess
Young men chasing for the fast money than striving for a degree
Have grown women independently raising their son into a man… well they hope to be
Brain washed to believe that we all are the next NBA and NFL superstar
Rather than pursuing a career and raising the bar
Have the dark- skinned saying they’re better than the bright- skinned
The bright- skinned saying they look better than the dark- skinned
The mixed breed gets treated to a certain degree
And the rest of the skin tones just fit in to where they be
Raising generation after generation in the ghettos and projects
Instead of working towards a better tomorrow and taking those steps to a progressive providence
Some have gotten so accustomed to that hardship lifestyle
That in their eyes the hood style is one that is most reliable
Choose not to vote for we believe it’s a waste of time
But can’t wait for the new Jordan’s to come out so we can show off and shine
Priorities have gotten so far out of order
That we put material things ahead of our own respect and love for each other
Have one story households with a den, kitchen, one bedroom, and a room with a bath
With a Mercedes and Escalade in the garage, also in the drive-way a Jag
The dealers drive around in the candy painted cutlass sitting so high, man their ride be dope
Then they seem confused when the police and Feds know they be selling that dope
Sisters sliding down poles displaying their gifts to the world
Just so they can put food on the table for their baby girl
Hard times are always going to be a part of our lives, but to learn from our past we seem to defer
Brown skin…. Seems we have forgot where we came from
And….
Who we were
