They'll give you their blood
But act as vampire
They'll burn down your home
But hose you with ire
They'll hand down their genes
Yet steal your fashion
They'll copy your songs
But distill your passion
They'll make you mulatto
But sell you as nigger
They'll dance on your grave
Then frame you the digger
You know life's so fair---
Always to the fairest.

Each week, we see the flex of the strongman.
Divide children from parents; detain the wrong man.
The convict king rules without rules.
The only thing they teach is that they run up in your schools.
Your compassion and empathy are traits to be admired---
If Jesus worked for you, he'd be the first to be fired.
In New York, the law couldn't use the word "rape"---
But the judge said Donald did the same, and he admitted it on tape.
Your supporters storm DC and vehemently riot,
And those with buyer's remorse---we're supposed to buy it?
And you say the protests in Los Angeles are lawless?
Thank God for Trump, who will always be flawless.

An Afro---you're a rebel.
Rock dreads---now you're a thug.
Corn Rows---Column: Devil.
Wear weave---don't show your mug.
Straight hair---it can't be yours!
Good God, you're being bougie.
And now you cut it short---
Must be on active duty.
I'm glad that we can't win---
Yet make us play the game.
That "white" man has "black" hair!
Still think we look the same?

Beautiful bracelets are adorned:
Long legs let loose---you're Rhino Horned.
The Kenyan princess pierces through
With Mallet Smash; leg grabs she threw.
Skin of bronze but heart of gold---
Swiftly strikes with Spinning Scythe.
Sky blue eyes; bangs white and bold---
She always makes friends from a fight.

If blacks be born of water,
We will be born again.
But blacks be born of white---
Blame Jezebel for sin.
When white man want the manna,
The black man get the scraps.
But black man build your fortune---
All across the maps.
Black wealth was envied deep---
From Tulsa to PG.
Physician, lawyer, engineer:
To be elite and free.
To be elite and free---
Such a blessing being black.
We build rich towns, you tear ours down.
Yet crime is on our back?

We want you to be a people person---
But won't treat you as a person.
We want you to be a weapon---
But won't treat you as a soldier.
We want your women's bodies---
But won't treat your women's pain.
We want you to sell sex---
But treat your gender great.
We want to mock your culture---
But treat ourselves to twerking.
We want to buy your house---
But treat your home like shit.
We want you to stay away---
But treat you like you're prey...

You say you respect the law, yet you ignore Bass Reeves.
And Andrew Jackson's a hero but John Brown's so violent.
Sure---and Google got replaced by Ask Jeeves.
You say you respect King, yet you elected a tyrant.
You say such shit and perform for free---
As if you ain't benefit from slavery.
You say you hate predators who put women in peril.
Well, tell that to E. Jean Carroll.
You say you love your heritage and blood---
Yet you view your black cousins as mud.
You say such shit and perform for free---
As if we ain't still in slavery.

Blacks standing over empty seats;
Invisible people sitting down...
Invisible people standing up...
Montgomery buses
seg re gat ed
When white men integrated,
Mulatto was created.
And Brown was debated...
Sep a rate
On the bus
Integrate in the shack,
In the shed,
In the police car,
In the dark---at knifepoint...
The Southern gentlemen show their Southern hospitality.
Please, show us the errors of black brutality---
How dare we stand?
How dare we speak?
How dare we select peace over war?
Colvin, Smith, Browder, and McDonald---
They are our Mount Rushmore.

You're older not a year---
But just another day.
Will wisdom just appear---
Because you're old and gray?
You bring with you your fear...
You thought it flew away?
As death approaches near,
It's love---December-May.

Bleed nationalism to create a weaker nation:
All immigrants welcome---except Latino, Black, and Asian,
And Arab, Amazigh, and Native too.
Following Christ is what the Christian hates to do.
You love this land yet you tear down trees
And deny blacks and Natives with the deepest roots.
You raped, slaughtered, and tortured us with ease---
Yet you call us the savages and brutes.
