Switch The Bitch

With natural hair, full lips & broad noses
I love you all from your head to your toes
Melanin's glow is a natural aphrodisiac
You already know that's a cold hard fact

Black is beautiful and, as usual, I'm in awe
Of each & everyone of you both near & far
You're the brightest stars in space's constellation
You're the grieving mothers who've birthed each nation

Our elevation is dependent upon your wellbeing
So I'm not understanding what I keep on hearing
When I be listening to the lyrics of today's music
A chant is a powerful tool when we effectively use it

Yet we confuse it as just entertainment all the time
Not acknowledging that rhymes can effect our minds
Quoting a line that the late, great minister Malcolm X said
You're the most disrespected, unprotected and neglected

Brothas, we need to get our heads back in the game
There're more important things than chasing fame
Don't defame all women in pursuit of getting rich
Sistas, listen to Pac's "Wonder Why They Call U Bitch"

It's time to make a switch & change the narrative
This here is a call to action that's very imperative
Can you give this food for thought a healthy bite?
Then make love not war with each other tonight
