Fabrications

Written by C Hues

Give me that Kool Aid, fried chicken
Potato salad—no raisins, slavery’s past (passed)
Give me that welfare, poverty strickin’
Quit actin’—it’s all cast (caste)
Give me that jazz, blues, gun totin’
Can’t read, can’t spell, can’t write
Give me that drug dealin’, cop hatin’, weed smokin’
Quit lyin’—it’s alright (all right)

It’s Reaganomics or Ebonics
It’s “That’s Life” or The Chronic
It’s that life that ain’t honest
It’s hooked on drugs or Hooked on Phonics
It’s endurance and more patience
It’s your crime and your creations
It’s passed down fabrications
It’s one blood, many nations

April Fools

Written by C Hues

We’ll teach black history in schools
Pulled your leg, April Fools


We live by peace, no heat and tools
America, April Fools


Tensions ease, the climate cools
It’s down a peg, April Fools


We’ll remove all our racist rules
Just kidding “bruh”, April Fools

Victim

Written by C Hues

April 1, 2024

Trapped outer space, yet I still breathe
Forced underwater, yet I found air
Wrongly in solitary, yet how did I leave?
Shut me in my own room, yet I’ve got room to spare.

Tried to make me feel homeless in my own home
But I’m free, somebody whose body you’ll never own
Tried to make me a stranger in my own city
But I’m no victim, take back your own pity.

Thanks for no help, but I rise regardless
The top of my class, that’s in spite of hardships
Called me a “nigger”, but your lies are garbage
Guess what? Now this nigger’s the brightest artist.
