BLACK DON'T CRACK
BLACK DONT CRACK LIKE LEATHER
JUST LIKE WINE
THE OLDER
THE BETTER
TRY IT
INDULGE IN IT
TAKE IN THE FRAGENCE
BLACK SO PERFECT
YOU CAN TELL GOD MADE IT HIMSELF
PUT IT ON A SHELF
AND CALL IT A TROPHY
BLACK SKIN
IS THE EQUIVALENT OF GOLD
THEY ASK ME
SHUNSHINE HOW YOU KNOW
WELL
IT WAS BOUGHT AND SOLD
ON THE MARKET
TRIED THEIR HARDEST
TO BREAK OUR SOULS
BUT WE COULDN'T BE BROKEN
TOOK OUR BABIES
OUR DIGNITY STOLEN
BUT WE STILL STANDING
HAND AND HAND WE MADE IT

MY BLOOD SO BLACK
LIKE 240 YEARS OF SLAVERY
AND WE ARE STILL OPPRESSED
SO BLACK LIKE HOW THE BLACK
MAMMY NURTURED THE MASSAS
BABY ON HER BLACK BREAST
HOW RUNNAWAY WAS BRANDED
ON A RUNNAWAY'S CHEST
LIKE MY PRESIDENT IS BLACK
BUT SOME HOW WE ARE STILL
SECOND BEST
IN A SOCIETY
THAT WE BLESSED, STRESSED
AND CRIED OVER
BEATEN TARRED FEATHERED
AND DIED OVER
JUST TO BE RAN OVER BY A
SYSTEM DESIGNED FOR US TO FAIL
THEY KILL OUR SONS
AND SAY OH WELL THEY
HE SHOULDN'T HAVE BEEN WALKING
WHILE BLACK
LIKE 240 YEARS OF SLAVERY
AND WE ARE STILL OPPRESSED
SO BLACK LIKE HOW THE BLACK
MAMMY NURTURED THE MASSAS
BABY ON HER BLACK BREAST
HOW RUNNAWAY WAS BRANDED
ON A RUNNAWAY'S CHEST
LIKE MY PRESIDENT IS BLACK
BUT SOME HOW WE ARE STILL
SECOND BEST

BLACK GIRL MAGIC
FIRE IN HER EYES
THE SUN MIXED HER MELANIN
JUST TO MAKE IT THE RIGHT SHADE
OF BROWN SUGAR
GODS GREATEST CREATION
TOOK HIM THE LONGEST
TO MAKE IT
SLOW BAKE IT
400 DEGREES
ADMIRE HER SMILE
SHE TOO RADIANT
THEY SAY BLACK GIRL ATTITUDE TOO BAD
I SAY NAH
SHE JUST TOO SPICY
BLOOD TO COLD
VEINS TO ICY
PEACH TO JUICY
WHITE MAN TRIED TO USE IT
BUT BLACK GIRL TOO HOT
SCORCHING
WITH THAT
PERUVIAN
BRAZILIAN
SHE TO NATURAL
HAIR SLICKED BACK
IN THE MOST PERFECT
EDGE CONTROLLED...

parish/perish (my ex)
How long did you think I would fall for the same shit
The words was a little different but it was still the same shit
One day I woke and smelled the flowers
And realized since I was the sole provider
I held all the power
You thought shit was sweet
But really it was turning sour I can't really blame you for
For your behavior
Because I was the one who allowed it
I gave you the power but you abused it
You took my kindness for weakness and used it
But make no mistake about the situation at hand
I only tolerated this because I truly loved...

goodbye
This is where we say goodbye
this is where every lie you ever told me no longer matters
at this point in my life I've gathered enough strength to say I'm worth it
I've come to the point where every thing I have in life I earned it
No shade thrown
but I made your life was easy
only called me up when you need me
And you knew I was coming
You knew your past didn't scare me
so I wasn't running
But you slipped up the night you told me you didn't love me
well atleast not like I loved you
And I tried to analyze and reevaluate the situation...

broken
Yes I'm broken
this is not what I was hoping
still held on in my own way I was coping
others you were stroking
my heart left open
so take this piece of a poem
as a reminder as a token
I that I remember
I remember lying in your bed passed out from pure ecstasy while you fill my head with lies and you and I were meant to be my heart was blinded by false love
so my eyes couldn't see
that my reality was altered by some words you didn't mean
I remember coming to pick you up
I didn't have much gas but I couldn't leave you stuck
and those...

my son
I want my son to be a strong black man no if ands or buts about it
I want him to be proud of his race and shout it to the world
I want him not to fall into the stereotypical black men who don't take care of their children
or get locked up and then makes excuses for sitting on their ass
and they’re think they to cool to show up to class
And get mad at the teacher because they didn't pass
No
My son will be a soldier
And do what's right and not because I told him
But because he's a real man
One to never put his hands on any woman because she's a...

Love So Deep
I want to fall into a love so deep that it scares me
I want to fall into his arms and not worry if my heart will get broken and taken for granted
I want my love to be like tree that roots are planted deep in the ground
I want to play hide and go seek in his love and not be found
A love that conquers all
A love that will catch me right before I fall
A man to hold me tight
Someone to cuddle up to on cold nights
And no matter how much we fuss or fight we stay together
A man who is better than anyone in my past
I want a relationship that lasts...

1000 tears
i cry 1000 tears
each one for you
they represent all the shit
you put me through
and it proves to you
how much i care
and its not fair
how you treat me
try to delete me from your life
and i wont go without a fight
and as hard as im trying
it feels like im losing
but im still choosing you
eventhough im the one you mis-use
my heart ws your to have and to hold
not to control and break
and make me wonder why

treat you like a king
and give you a crown

heartbroken love song pt 2
Like a bad dream you don’t want to remember
And I surrendered to your abuse
And when you were done you threw me away
Like I was no use to you
But I had gotten use to you
The way you smell the way you dressed
You impressed me with your smile
And all the while it was just a game
And now that I look back
I’m ashamed to say I chose you
Over every other person who came my way
And the little things you did
That made my day
Was that fake too
I gave you my all
In hopes that you wouldn’t let me fall
But I fell
And all...
