Nation

(Yea well found this song too Someday we’ll all be free-Aretha Franklin, which routed me here)    
 
Yeah she’s telling me about    
How her parents joined
The Nation of Islam in the 70s    
So her last name was Muhammed    
Well get the fuck out the way    
Let me meet your parents instead    
I wanna interview em; both of em…yea well    
This is ain’t about her so…nothing    
Too distinct about her…well oooyea she was    
Something to look at now- that kind of    
(Not really present or accounted for)    
Culturally elite “siddity” yet well-grounded    
-I’m more like a monk anal retentive; that’s a lil different-    
Short natural twists, chocolate,    
Pilgrimage smile (braces) that’ll make ya    
Pull your white sheet up to your knees and walk it    
Barefoot for all the holiday Muslims;    
(Chucking about temporary converts)    
Black bomber jacket, some kinda    
Fast car, long and lanky like me    
And that attitude was necking on a    
Poetry jam session    
Happening in my bedroom, after hours    
But I don’t know what else really    
Other tendencies leaking out    
Here and there    
Not 100% proof, consequently    
Stood me up for the 2nd date.
