I am a black man in America

I am a black man in America, that makes me subject to random pull overs on the freeway, subject to white women holding their purses when I walk by and I am occasionally used as target practice for cops who didnt do so well in the academy on their gun shoot, see I am a black man in America, I am only cool if I am on TV dribblin a ball, or playin one helluva thug in an on screen role, see when Denzel made training day I was already trained on the way this system works, see I am a black man in AmeriKKKa, three K's, not for the klan, but kids killin kids, see if a white man shoots me its dont shoot my hands are up, if my own shoots me its dont snitch, I am a black man who glorifies the only music that calls our women bitch, I am the black man who has tear drop tattoos and gold grills and wonder why corporations over look me for my business skills you see, I am a black man in america, I blast my music to be heard six blocks from where Im at, I sag my pants to show my ass, I scream soowoo, cuz, F.O.L.K.S. and loc, I dont consider myself official unless I did a stint upstate, I call those of mine who do good in school fake and I discrimintate on any of mine whose skin tone is too light and damn near white, see I am a black man in America, I claim this country profiles me, yet fail to admit I give em the tools for that validation, I love to get on facebook and call my own house niggas while I am that nigga who just sits in the house, and really dont want that nigga I called a house nigga comin to my house, I uprise and holla come together after my people take an ass whoopin, unless that ass whoopin was broadcast on world star hip hop, then it is shared with the masses, see I am a black man in america, when I am pissed off I burn up my own shit, I change my profile pic to me wearing a hoodie, I am concerned for just a short time span because when the new season of love and hip hop comes on, its fuck trayvon, fuck oscar, fuck eric, fuck michael, where is my nigga stevie j at, I am a black man in america, when my own disagrees with my theory I call him coon and victims of slave masters, I am a black man in America who says I hate the stereotypes but only concern myself with the types of stereos in my car, I am a black man who asks the question when will they stop harassing me, I answer it with this, when will we stop harassing ourselves, I claim and bang over a hood in where I own not one brick, unless its a brick of weed or coke, and even I dont own that cause the Mexicans supply that, I am a black man in America, who has just pissed off other black men in America, cause the way this piece started you thought I was gone be on some pro radical shit, but shitttt, I dont conform to the norm and I do intend to offend, you see I am a black man in America, but thats it, I am only in america, I dont impact america
