JEALOUSY

Would you have me rather
Beaten, broken, bewildered?
Would you rather hold me?
Anxious, angry, anguished?
Would you rather me in a state
Tormented, demented, defeated?
Try to seduce me
Buy me
Rape me of my integrity
It don’t faze me
Jewels of Africa
Oil of the Saudi
Rice of Asia
Make me, you wanna, tryna
Feed me, clothe me
But you can’t faze me
Jealousy
Of my brothas and sistas
Kings and Queens
Jealousy tryna kill me
Lies the devil tells me
The weak shall inherit the earth
Lies the devil tells me
Senseless killings
Children, the innocents
Lies the devil tell you…
You gotta rob me of my $1200 shoes
To be worth something on this side
You hide
Behind masquerades
Facades
Popularity, envy…
Soakin’ in
Petrol…let those
Pickaninnies burn
With fire and brimstone
Lies that are told
Bow down and worship me
Prince of the air
I’m not scared
But worship only the Lord
With your heart, mind, and soul
Let the truth be told
I’m already winning
Scored a perfect 10 in these last innings
Father, let your will be done
In heaven and earth son
Deliver thee, these people
From He,
This wicked jealousy
