Her beauty isn't measured by some European standard of what beauty should be but by her confidence and the fact that she is loving the skin she's in. To me, that alone is beautiful.

our children our dying 

slaughtered upon amerikkkas streets

their blood

soaks the concrete

 

a mother cries

a tearful song of death 

another afrikan child

has taken his last breath

 

written off as a statistic

for the caucasian another victory

 

an endless cycle of genocide

but how can we change the tide

 

made in amerikkka

the afrikan youth

 

on the brink of extinction

depraved in the red white and blue

 

fighting the odds

to becoming a man 

set back in life for taking a stand

 

the Afrikan males life

from beginning to end

from the ghettoes to the state pen

 

then back again 

 

black on black crime

ignorance is high 

unknowing or unwittingly

we're killing for their side

 

"WHITE MAN CAPITALIZING OFF  OF US DOING TIME"

 

private prisons appearing as maggots

devouring our souls

the afrikan trapped

in an abyss

of time

 

but Revolutionaries

Revolutionize

a vision to recognize

 

knowledge will open doors

 

on a world

where the Afrikan soars

high with eagles

beyond the atrocities of the ghettoes

 

their tentacles of knowledge

resuscitating the youth

admonishing them the evils

of the Red White and Blue

 

slowing emerging

out of cocoons of ignorance

thirsting for the knowledge at hand

 

the Afrikan male

a fearless warrior

 

human just like you
