WHO WOULD I BE TELLIN'

IF I SAID I WAS A FELON

FOR BEING BLACK & YELLIN'

'BOUT LOVING TO EAT WATERMELON

& STREET CORNER 'CAIN SELLIN?

WHO CAN I GO TO, 'BOUT THIS PLIGHT

NO REAL OPPONENT NO REAL FIGHT

CAN HARDLY SLEEP PAST MIDNIGHT

LOOSE LIES SHOULD BE WRAPPED TIGHT.

I DO ADMIT MY FALSEHOODS & DECEPTION

SO, WHY IS MY MELON AN EXCEPTION?

IT, & SPIRITUAL FRUIT ARE A PROTECTION

I'LL REMAIN TEACHABLE, ANY SUGGESTION?

I DO WHAT I DO IN THE NAME OF SURVIVAL

AINT WHATEVER WE DO WE'LL HAVE A RIVAL?

I LIVE IN SPACE AND TIME TOO, & I DO MARVEL

AT MY DIRT CEILING, WRONG HEIGHT WRONG LEVEL.

I HAVE FOOLED NO ONE EXCEPT MY OWN SELF

I WAS TOLD TO GO RIGHT, SOMEONE ELSE SAID LEFT

NOW I'VE COME TO A TRUTH THAT LED TO THEFT

OF SOMEONES CHARACTER, FAITH, & ALL ELSE

IT'S HIGH TIME I TAKE MY LOVE OFF OF THE SHELF!

 

HERE IN LIES MY PLAN:

I DO HOPE AND PRAY I PASS A MAN

THAT I CAN, WITHOUT COST, LEND A HAND

AND TRULY RELEASE THAT EVIL BRAND

THAT HE/SHE BELIEVES WE BOTH CAN.

AND I PRAY THE PERSON I DO NOT PASS

MY WORDS AND DEEDS SHALL SURELY LAST

INTO AN ETERNITY NOT UPHELD BY CLASS

NEEDING NOT NICKEL, COPPER, NOR BRASS.

I PRAY THAT I BECOME CONTINUALLY AVAILABLE

AND MY HEART RIDE WAVES, AND IS SAILABLE

'CAUSE TRUTH BE TOLD, I WASN'T ALWAYS ABLE

MOSTLY 'CAUSE OF INTERNET AND/OR CABLE

FOOLED SELF FAR TOO LONG I WAS THE FABLE

SAT LONG ENOUGH JUS' TO EAT AT ANYONES TABLE

I'LL BE TODAY A SLAVE FOR MY SLAVIOR, HE IS ABLE!

PEACE...
