[ Featuring Justly2Poetic ]
Blacks killing blacks it is deeper than just a catchphrase
Sisters have been looking pass a keeper just to make it to a front page
Only wanting to be a Nikki Giovanni on some days
In some ways I know that it is our fault
The n**** in me
Has made it so our woman will risk it all, at all cost
When was it last about strong thoughts
Since then all sorts of killings have happened
Spreading my madness
For static
How tragic
Ecogenetics
It's in our genes and it's in our fabric
It took four hundred years for us to develop these habits
Of not supporting our blackness
Our blackness is what made us active
Like them 8treyz from back in the days
When was the last time we on honored our slaves
Told our kids about the pages they've changed
I don't say accept the rampage but first, understand it
Imma a n****
You's a bitch until we change the language
The standard is a requirement and its demanded
Killing ourselves underhanded
Lack of support is what's creating the most damage
And these cameras are keeping them in place like a campus
On the canvas
Cardell Hayes is drawn out to look like he killed another saint
It's all cancerous
But all the information was pampered
Now that man is banished to palace he didn't establish
Blacks are killing blacks
It's deeper than just a catchphrase
What is it about me that has you feeling displeased?
Wait, let me finish. let your eyes meet mine as I reclaim my time
What do you see? Do you not see the woman who refused to stand so you could sit Wherever you please?
Or the mother who exposed her son's Unrecognizable face for the world to see?
So your mother can see you live past fourteen
Aren't we the women racing to the polls leading the voting machine?
You see, I love you more than you know, this aint for show, this is growth
Far from being your bitch or your hoe
Closer to being your Angela rye or Claudia Jones
From the fields to the projects to the suburbs we were by your side
Or they forced us to replace your absence
With relentless independence and longer strides
Systematically our tears aren't a f*cking option
And Our value is still reduced to a bare minimum
