+Art-Cointelpro (America)

My professor          
Continued to            
Discredit me            
In various            
Paraphrasers            
That really            
Wasn’t necessary            
Lighting up            
My pages,            
After            
Trashing            
My uhm            
What do you call em?            
“Intro quote pages”            
(Beginning and end)        
In front of            
The entire            
Fucking            
Undergraduate class            
(Shooting baskets with em            
To disarm the forces            
Of my mind)            
Neutralizing me:            
Nationwide            
Among my (mf) peers-            
And uh I had to go            
To his colleague            
Yep called in the            
Bureau            
Aka Dept.            
About him            
Cracking            
Fondly/Snidely            
On Black identity    
(He didn't do it    
To the Palestinian girl?  
Making us  
Hate each other  
All out of context-  
Divisive  
Looking at her  
Out of the corner of my eye:  
She sat to the left of me)           
Political instability            
Subverting            
The movement            
And the            
“Stone Butch”            
(Hilmer)            
Came in on it;            
(Went in on me          
My God-        
Broke my heart)            
Helped me            
To mitigate            
The situation            
Ya know            
“Sometimes we            
Think that there are            
Only institutions            
Standing in the way            
Then come to find out            
There are literal bodies”            
-Making the grade (b) Ok;            
Disliked him so much            
We only showed up            
To turn in papers            
“Do I even know you?”            
(Anal retentive smile)            
Handing his paper            
On the desk and left;            
Hijacking a plane            
Like the            
Black Panther Party            
Outtta that terrain;            
Anyways-            
He was fair            
(Gotta give him that much            
Bc, bc            
If class participation was            
80% of the grade; then F)            
But still            
(Take that)            
Mastah P            
”Make Em Say Uhh”            
Instrumental only.
