[TO THE BLACK WOMAN]
THE MUSIC FOR THIS ONE... AS ALWAYS A MESSAGE
These thoughts of you leave me prone on the floor of overstanding... The fact that you have been there all along.
You formed to be the companion of Kings who have now been brought to their theoretical knees by theological inconsistencies.
By systems of false hopes and dreams... Acura's sitting in the yards of rented homes... The parking lots of massa's jobs.
The "I HAVE A DREAM" speech looped into the feed for one month out of the year as the children are fed the same old advances again and again.
You have been there all along as the world called me boy and nigger and kicked me dead in the ass...
What have I done to deserve your loyalty?
When we were created did Allah know all the things that we would see and where we would be... Were we the seed that he spoke to Ibrahim about in the book of Genesis?
400 years of the most oppressive slavery ever perpetuated in human history... Its lingering aftermath.
You have been there all along as I was a pimp, a dope pusher and a politician... Formed to be my companion... I to be yours.
We so in need of each other as our people commit thug genocide in the parks and prisons... On street corners where so many boy's become shattered men.
As so many of our sisters run from what is true beauty to wanting to live the Barbie dream... Fake blond hair and blue contacts.
Fall in love with each other because of our perceived weaknesses... Who we have become...
Warriors made into false representations of man.
Got to give it all back.
You have been there all along.
