A Very Fair Life

Written by JC Hughes (aka C Hues)

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.

Strongman

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.

Bougie

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?

Elena

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.

Elite and Free

Written by JC Hughes (aka C Hues)

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?

Treat

Written by JC Hughes (aka C Hues)

June 3, 2025

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...
