Sorry


You want me to change for you
News flash I can't
due to my insufficiency
I am black 
Black like the dirt you walk on
Black like the night sky
So due to my abnormality
"I apologize for being black"
You can't help but stare at Oscar
So i say to you ma'am 
Does the black on my skin
make you tremble within

The New Color of America


Ebony is constantly moving up and down the streets
Ebony is my family speaking to me with silk voices
Ebony is my dad's cooking over the stove
Ebony is the soft skin of the people I love
Ebony is the energy that flows through my
Ebony is the trickle of gravy that makes everything a little better
Ebony is coming into this world for the first time 
Ebony is the uprising that is upon us
Ebony is everywhere because it can no longer be contained

A Shiner

A lifetime of beauty,
these other girls ain't got nothin' on me
They stare so hard sometimes I think they might shoot,
me
Girl please,
my perfume so nice while yours makes Jesus sneeze
They think they on my level
they wish
with basism worse than racism
Your platonic jealousy is so strong is so strong
it's like an ionic bomb
I make you crazy
like you got white line fever
But i would me crazy if i wasn't me either
Im the original "Mr. Steal ya' man"
Wait
Scratch that
I can steal your girl too
just gotta put my hair in a snapback

My eyes can burn holes in your soul
My lips spit lyrics that'll make you sick
The pen in my hand writes so fast it's like a sonic blast
My smile can make you cry
because I am the apple of all eyes.
Even when i don't try i just
Shine

A Mothers Pain



It was one phone call that ended the world that day
He was struck in the head,they said.
A flash of 30 seconds and his head swallowed the lead forever sleep pill.
Any other day turned into a tragedy, with one phone call.
Now everyone mourns,
but no one knows a mother's pain.

No reason to get up
to eat,
They all cry and grieve, but no one knows a mothers pain.
A piece of her fades into the blackness of his grave,
nothing can brighten up her day. 
As her heart beats a million times a minute, her mind floats back to earth
As she walks away from his final resting place.
