I’ve been spoon fed with fables of commonwealth, inside noiseless boundaries
Where telling the truth was an everyday felony
And life was permitted, if you were of color
To an intense degree.
Uncle Jacobs got locked up for rape, without a case from the feds.
They say the woman’s her own witness, but how can she speak when she’s dead.
I find it comical that a man could cry for his life.
I find it even worse that emotion only comes across when their going through strife.
Where were the tears falling from when you beat your wife?
Or, when your son had to get up to stop you with that knife.
Do you deserve to die? Yes, I think so.
But I’m just a child, so what do I know?
But life is not up to us, it’s up to god, and not up to me.
But the MAN will take it anyway, So Rest it In Peace.
JUSTICE, HA!
The administration of law.
The same system that will bind you for every single flaw.
Not as in being a serial killer, pedophile, or even for selling crack.
Sometimes, it’s just simply because you’re being BLACK.
Many died in the fire, 9,000,000 to be concise
And after many years, the Jews were paid back their price
But more died in slavery, they say it wasn’t genocide, but I object.
I think it was, so I’m still sitting here waiting on our checks.
Auntie Jennifer got evicted with six babies with no place to live.
So she had to sell her body, to support her kids.
Couldn’t find a real job, cuz’ she could speak a no English.
So they put her in a shelter, and labeled her immigrant.
What will we do about the iniquity of our nation?
Black, White, Spanish, and Haitian
To understand a world like this one we live in.
Would take a huge magnifying glass of diverse serenity for me to see within.
I’ve been spoon fed with fables of commonwealth, inside noiseless boundaries
Where telling the truth was an everyday felony
And life was permitted, if you were of color
To an intense degree.
