Hateful Acts
Anywhere that our hue is in plain view
They'll be many who will hate our crew
What's one to do when hate is worldwide?
No matter the avenue in which you reside
When tired of being viewed as public enemy
From spewing the truth about his hypocrisy
Will there ever be a safe place to call home?
Seems that we must carry ammo & chrome
Our genome inherits pain via epigenesis
Things have been this way since Genesis
Should we resist temps of becoming radical?
Even though we won't receive sabbaticals
We've met with the Oracle; seeking answers
She didn't know what to do about this cancer
So who do we run to outside of GOD?
He already has a clue that it's been hard
Our psyches are as scarred as Kunta's back
Or Toby to you, lacking knowledge of blacks
Don't you see the stats about disparities?
Open your eyes wide for acuity & clarity
Some will see differently no matter the facts
Viewing our history as theatrical acts
Do they think it's an act cause of the videos?
On body & dash cams like pornographic hoes
If it were a show, we'd have been yelled CUT!!
Instead of being treated like disorderly bucks
What the fuck's it going take for our lives to really matter?
It's more than a slogan or P.C. banter
They'll be many who will hate our crew

Maybe black folks should be more like white folks. Ride with your side even if their actions are vile simply because you share a common pigmentation
World Wars 1 and 2 were fights over which white country could control Africa's riches and resources
Whites will fight each other like hyenas over a wildebeest, but if a lion shows up instant unity to destroy that which is not the same as them

Bro, those last two lines were fire and truth.
I was in high school when I remember watching the news on Rodney King, then a year later the riots happened. But now that everyone has cell phones, it really exposes how bad this bigotry is everywhere. I was born in a country that had civil war, and I saw some fucked up shit, but the stuff that happens here is just as bad.
