We Gotta Get Over

We Gotta Get Over

We all ask the question is there more to this

the conclusion is

a result of the choices made before us

and the ones that we're choosing

Sorting the lies from the TRUTH can be confusing

not knowing if you're winning or you're losing

like flying in the triangle of Bermuda

Blinded can't see the horizon

so you're nose diving

praying to God that you're climbing

Who knew if there's no movement there's no time

and Four hundred years can be forty hours

in five sunsets and sunrises

living check to check just trying to survive

never to realize its slavery in disguise

You refuse to believe it saying,

"Look at my degrees and achievements

my big ole house and SUV

and like Kanye I walk with Jesus"

This type of reasoning is hard not to agree

Why Do They Hate Us So Much

Ephraim splashed the mop on the floor; the sweet aroma burned inside his nostrils

Dipping the head inside the corrosive chemicals, painting them laterally on the floor like a renaissance artist

Gently dabbing his brow as he heard the whispers in the distance of conversing hostiles

He knew what they were discussing; for even he thought when this day came he would be mere fossils

He continued with a nod and a smile pretending not...

Offended

I apologize if I offend thee

Hmm not really...

For centuries I've waited for sincere empathy

That may inspire a genuine apology

At the very least the acknowledgement of the things you took from me

The things you've done to me

It makes sense why you fear me

Shooting I; unarmed in the streets

You label me a villain, so you can sleep in peace

Teach your babies that you're mentally intellectually superior to me

Stack the deck so that I fail and they succeed

You thought I was inferior because then I lack technology

Throughout history you speak

Do not as I do but as I say

But you say life liberty and be happy

But what you practice is death oppression and hypocrisy

I've always seen the true colors of your Lilly white supremacy

Born in lies now your offspring drape themselves in the 2nd amendment of your ...
