Puttin' black shades on my eyez
to hide the redness
from a session
between me and 2 of my guy's...
Yet i'm watchin'
As a people rebel against an internalized sickness.
I place blame on The Mack and Superfly with the quickness!
They showed us how to ditch the struggle cause pimpin is bigga-
And gave us license to call ourselves bitches and niggas
Yet the root of such words go deeper-
just ask the executive producers!
Puttin' black shades on my eyez
to hide the redness-
from a session-
between me and 2 of my guy's
And i'm watchin' as a people vote for-
a candidate-
with fake-
ties to her husband, you political whores!
Don't y'all know she's just gon continue to carry on this war!!
And she ain't even got a platform 4 U
"Political Chumps" is what Malcolm called you!
Puttin' black shades on my eyez
to hide the redness-
from a session-
between me and 2 of my guy's
Yet i'm watchin'
as my people play with liberation.
Ain't no establishin' a paradise inside of this nation!
Take a vacation-
with me!
I'm headed to the east-
3 words: family, folklores and feasts!
A one way ticket on my next trip-
And no thanks to dual citizenship
I'M FREE!!
So i'm watchin'
watchin' as we-
who have yet recovered from colonialism
and slavery-
Make attempts at being powerful 1nce again-
And put some racial affinity and luhv 4 kin-
Inside the most powerful word second to GOD-
African!!
So Im Watchin'...
