Black Hate

The melanin that runs through my veins is hated

By most,

They taught us lies,

“Youre nothing ! Not even a full man

¾ at most !”

Slaves, with forgotten names

I look around and it's all still the same.

They're not afraid of how we look ,

Nor how we walk and talk

No

They’re dismay is at the POWER our melanin holds.

They keep us divided because an educated black King or Queen

Is entirely too powerful for them to intervene

They can't push us in jail when we know our rights

Or steal our money if we can count it right

Invest it, cultivate it, grow it amongst ourselves.

So they give us drugs and lock our fathers up in tiny cells

And we think they deserve it because of what the media sells

We hate ourselves, our connection is faded

We must turn to God, He's in control , He is the greatest

He made us great too

Carbon under pressure shines bright like diamond

Until we learn to love, forgive and understand

we will continue to suffer

The disease of hate and miseducation is what plagues the black hustler

Peace and blessings to all the soldiers among us.
