[A MINUTE AGO]





[A MINUTE AGO]
THE MUSIC FOR THIS ONE.. DONT MISS IT...

ONCE A LONG TIME AGO I LINGERED IN THE SKIN OF AN ANCIENT ANCESTOR AS HE WALKED IN SEARCH OF MEAT...
ONCE I STIRRED IN THE FALLOPIAN TUBES OF MY GREAT GREAT GRANDMOTHER AS SHE LOOKED AT MOUNT KILIMANJARO FROM THE PLAINS OF AFRICA... PANORAMIC SKY.
ONCE I WATCHED A BLACK MAN HANG FROM A TREE DEEP IN THE SOUTH THROUGH THE EYES OF A BLACK MAN...AS AN EXAMPLE WAS HE MADE FOR ALL THE OTHER NIGGERS TO SEE.
ONCE I WAS...
ONCE I WAS CLASSIFIED AND STIGMATIZED AS I GREW UP HARD IN THE PROJECTS.
WALLS WITH NO VISIBILITY, NO TANGIBILITY BUT THEY ARE THERE... TALL AS THE SKY...ONCE I LINGERED IN HALLS OF MIS-EDUCATION WHERE THEY FORCE FED CONFORMITY AND TRICKNOWLEDGE... WATCHED AS MY FRIENDS DRANK THE JUICE.
ONCE I SAW A MAN DIE CAUSE HE WAS POOR AS HE GRIPPED A GUN... FOUND HIS WAY OUT AS HE LIVED BY THE BULLET... DIED BY THE BULLET IN A BALLET OF DEATH.
ONCE I SAW A WOMAN SELL HER BODY TO FEED HER CHILDREN... A NORMAL SITUATION IN MY HOOD.
SO SAD THE GHETTO TALE.
ONCE UPON A MINUTE AGO.
