As I think the struggle of my realness,trying to thrive and survive,just to stay alive,listening to sister or brother preach about the struggle,as though they know the pain.Disrespecting your community with word harmful words mamma told you not to say,degradeing your women as though there's not a price to pay.Complimenting there ass,is endearing only to a man that has lost contact with his true realness.Loveing the hood,protecting the hood makes it all good,

Keeping It RealAs I think the struggle of my realness,trying to thrive and survive,just to stay alive,listening to sister or brother preach about the struggle,as though they know the pain.Disrespecting your community with word harmful words mamma told you not to say,degradeing your women as though there's not a price to pay.Complimenting there ass,is endearing only to a man that has lost contact with his true realness.Loveing the hood,protecting the hood makes it all good,  |
Owning My BlacknessEmbraceing my blackness,loveing my blackness,preserveing my blackness is my power,my strength,my right now.Blackness is in the DNA of a man,women,boy,or girl,beyond the color,apart of my spirit,like sunshine,something life cannot survive without,I define me,only I can label me,only I know me, from the blood pumping heart,to the skeleton white bone.My blackness is beyond another person opinion,there invalueable myths,there priceless,dollar store stereotypes.My blackness cannot be bought nor sold, it's worth more than diamonds,silver,platinum or gold,own your blackness,it's the solution to survival. |
Black Man StrongBlack Man Strong,no regrets of my thoughts,no guilt enters my soul as I hold on to my freedom,the natural freedom that life itself gave to me,Yes,I love my blackness,my wide nostrils,my sharp cheeks,my natural biceps,triceps,I celebrate the black sisters who is the color of the earth,the natural shape of a pear,My black strength,becomes your colorless fear,my black love becomes your colorless hate,my black power,becomes your colorless weakness,love your blackness. |
