They tried to murder me...
They tried to kill I fore I born see?
They tried to kill me when they landed on the shores of Africa and began to steal its resources.
It's people... It's gold, its chocolate, its diamonds.
They tried to kill me when they killed the first lion, the first elephant.
When they carved piano keys out of his ivory.
They tried to kill me in slavery when they whipped me.
When they hung parts of I and I from the branches of oak trees.
When they boiled Nat Turner's skin in a kettle and made my bredren rub the oil on their skin.
They tried to murder me when they said I couldn't learn how to read.
Made it a crime punishable by death.
They tried to slit my neck when they raped my sistren and planted weakened seed in strong wombs.
Labled it in varying degrees.
Called straight hair good and multi colored eyes pretty.
They tried to bury me in the Alabama dirt when they tried to stop my grandfather from leaving...
They tried to eradicate me when they refused my mother admittance to the hospital cause she was black.
When I born with umbilical cord wrapped round my neck was born in my grandparents home.
They tried to kill me cause they knew I was coming.
They know that from great strife free radicals arise...
They born of the need for the universe to make right the wrongs.
They even tried to kill me when they tried to lock me away.
Three life sentences in a hell within this hell called Amerikkka where I dwell.
They try to kill I on the news daily cause a black man can't even stand his ground... Can't even own a gun legally cause that would be an absurdity.
He might use it to get free from the very system that holds him in bondage.
He might remember that he is Israelite child of the most high who was born of Allah's hand... The Sons and daughters of the most high if I may repeat that again.
They tried to murder me...
The didn't succeed.
