Dove
Tell me that this was in the past
do you even know our heritage and magnificent history
I thought not, fuck you and your hypocrisy
you are right here yet you forgot about us all
cause your pockets got swollen, overflowing
they constantly remind you of who you are, just another token
take a NYC number four train ride to Utica Avenue
better yet here is a lifetime metro card for your sellout ass
they have bought your silence inked in the blood of darkies
sign your values, dignity, pride, and self respect away
Christianity always got you accepting their abuses
scrubbing and rubbing the blackness off the outside
bleaching and dyeing you dirty white on the inside
Islam got you willfully ignorant and arrogant ignoring what's truthfully right for Allah false truths are right
Tell me now that these events will be all in the past
when there another incident like Flint Michigan
after another police shooting similar to Philando Castile
after the police murder another Mike Brown
I bet you don't even remember Aiyana Jones
as you stand locking arms with Jerry Jones
using the flag pole to sodomize his sambos, y'all his Abna Louima's
What are you thinking of as you watch your teenagers?
tasting the rainbow, while sipping Arizona ice tea on NFL Sunday
Today's marquee match ups are Trayvon Martin's versus George Zimmerman's
do you tell them to get on their knees and pray it away, pleading heaven help us.
Should I clean your clock to help you remember Sean Bell
Amadou Diallo, can you see his majestic black face
or do you look pass his blackness and say white was right
stand for what, what a fucking disgrace
I stand fist raised shouting in my forefather's tongue
Yoruba Nation screaming from the top of my lungs
"Ireje nibikibi ni a irokeke ewu si idajo nibi gbogbo"
(Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere)
I take a knee because Dove can't make me the other white meat
No matter how hard I scrub myself or how they try to bleach me
I look in my mirrors day and night, night and day 24/7/365
and I still see a most beloved unapologetic African king.
Me!
Ya feel me!

Very powerful spill, vividly conscious, for so long we’ve been told who we are and how to be, and yet we’ve been told nothing…only but to forget who we were, are , and should be, to forsake our history and to ignore degeneracy… but so many are waking up and clearly I see your eyes are wide open… very dope ink
Thank you @FreeLove87 These kind of injustices goes back since they began shackling our forefathers in chains. Jim Crow era put us back in another form of bondage, free to live as long as we knew our places and stayed silent about the abuses, rapes, castrations, sodomies, feminization, masculinization and lynchings. We became shackled once agains this time by fear. today fear and discrimination and cloaked racism has our people in bondage still and bullet hole lynching/illegal chokeholds/unlawful arrests/planting drugs, guns and beatdown by cops are the method used to keep up in our place once again. But the worse is yet to come #MindControl methods and remote neural monitoring to keep an eye on us and keep us subdued is where we are headed.
