Choices

Do black people choose to be brutalized by police?
Did Eric, Tamir, and Mike choose to be deceased?
Do the people in Flint choose to have dirty water?
Did Trayvon & Jordan Davis choose to die in Florida?

Did Sandra Bland choose to get pulled over?
Did Chikesia Clemons choose for them to expose her?
Did Rekia Boyd choose that she didn't want to make it home?
Did she choose to take a bullet to her dome?

Yes? We all have choices that we have to make
I feel what Ye had to say was one hell of a mistake
Many don't feel the same and cosign what he say
Ok is my response like Jay said on The Story of O.J.

I'll always be an advocate for utilizing free thought
It's your prerogative like those who choose to be a THOT
How far with these choices are you willing to go?
That's the million dollar question that I'd like to know

I mean, all of the aforementioned could've made better decisions, right?
Do people get raped or end up behind yellow tape cause they chose to go out at night?
Do children born into poverty subconsciously choose to be poor?
Do those wrongfully imprisoned choose to be locked behind a cell door?

Do you choose to spread fake news and call it alternative facts?
Do you choose to turn your nose up to those who lack?
Do you believe that they're all lazy and are lying on their backs?
I'll wait. Take your time to answer any of the questions that I just asked
