Have you ever sat and realized... The concept of melanin... It's so fascinating The abundance of passion... energy... creativity... power... It incites fear Which baffles me... We are the Pit Bulls of humans We hold the most love of anyone... But they only take notice when we have to defend it You know, I'm sittin in this titty bar just trinna forget But I could never, so rather, just trinna have a good time But the fact of the matter is that regardless of these women I can't just let what you told me escape from my mind I grew up fortunate enough to not deal with these racist much Or my mind is so one track, its impossible for colliding But it would never matter, because the consistent theme Is that it's different, but it's not better to be black in Hawaii A light skin Goddess, if I'm honest, pretty modest Only because her past makes her act that way And she quiet, only reason is her family say She too lightskin to go comment on what dark skins face But she hit me up, asking if we could just talk Knowing she might be uncomfortable with me cus, shyt in the past But she hit my line, crying saying this unfair as f*ck And talking bout her nephew She had asked He's only 8 years old, and live in Tennessee His father profiled to be sippin on Hennessy He called me late, saying hey auntie I love you Just in case anything ever ends up happening to me How do I fix it I sit in silence, and ask, to be honest How do I fix it Taking this responsibility like it's my own How the f*ck I'm supposed to tell her it gets better on it's own They circle round his house when the street lights is on And follow him walking while on his way home, & I'm supposed to say just stay strong They bullying that lil boy The second he decide to fight em, dispatch is deployed His father cant rely on schools or the government for fairness in the matter, annoyed Because he profiled right him And It make me sick, cus shit like this gon hit the news the second it gets violent And father prosecuted for protection of his own But at that point, Y'all done and birthed another Black Panter Heaven bent on bringing Y'all to feel the pain in home You cant verify a thing, all of these are just extremes You think that could never happen, But it can, and I seen And the moment that it does, that boy is lost to righteous means and That woman gon look at me and day dream, when she asked He's only 8 years old, and live in Tennessee His father profiled to be sippin on Hennessy He called me late, saying hey auntie I love you Just in case anything ever ends up happening to me How do I fix it I clinch my fist, what was my role to play in this How do I fix it Kaepernick just took a knee, they got uncomfortable Told bro to shut up and throw LeBron agreed with his pled, they disagree Told my nigga, just shut up and dribble They took to their place of outlet to bring Awareness To those who don't dare dream our reality And instead of trying to see what we see They play the victim or turn off the TV Discrimination, segregation, hating over centuries When we start protesting, now they wondering why I cant get skittles and tea without thinking a kid died And they let the murderer go free, I question why Why do you think we fed up?, when we tried To suggest, and request for our basic human rights When time, after time, after time, got denied When another black girl dies, what crosses my mind She's less than 8 years old, and live in New Orleans Her mother profiled to be the least respected being She called me late, saying hey Uncle I love you Just in case anything ever ends up happening to me How do I fix it Before I lose my peace from losing my Niece How do I fix it Now, I'm not saying that we riot, or that we we condone the violence Cus I know that was never part of the plan But after so long of silence, we speak up, you keep us quiet Then you fuckin right, I understand Cus when we tried to defend life based on our skin You don't see how yours response is a racist decline So when it's been fought for, for a long ass time It's hard to not see folks as racist with a closed ass mind and then they give us a street, f*ck that's suppose to do for me We don't want no monetary, change is all the people seek Based on what's been established, we know Y'all ain't listening So let our protests proceed until the message has been seized, Agreed Last thing, the people have been fed up The people tired of hearing things like, nigga keep ya head up The people want to the equality that they're in indebt to Until then, you gon keep on hearing bout my nephew He's only 8 years old, and live in Tennessee His father profiled to be sippin on Hennessy He called me late, saying hey Uncle I love you Just in case anything ever ends up happening to me How do I fix it I know my place in this debate, you should say How do I fix it By not being indifferent Black Lives Matter
