America’s Pride
Tunnel visions kill, the Black Lives they don’t matter
In the back, head, heart, reload, a bomb and slaughter
My hands are up, don’t shoot, pow! pow! pow! Anyway
America’s doom, will be racism, injustice and inequality.
Willie Lynch got a gun and some house niggers too
KKK in black skin who’ve sold out their own race
Blood on their hands for making sure of a tight noose
Prime example: Ben Carson, the Trumps spade of Ace.
The biggest lie of all was the one born before me
After they killed all the Indians, except, maybe three
Put drugs in the neighborhoods to start their demonic plan
Then set things up completely against the unarmed Blackman.
Black Wall Street, Rosewood, examples of hate
Emmet Till, Trayvon Martin, Walter Scott, holdup wait-
16th street Baptists Church, the Charleston Church massacre
Babylon’s mystery shows all of us the pride of America.
Her biggest honor are the ones behind the badge
But when the tides turn, it’s like, extra catastrophic
Much more than those who continues to be killed, lynched
Yet it’s so different compared to her motto, how ironic.
But an ex-slave got the answer and know that they looked
What’s crazy is that he turned it all around in his book
If they could they’d hide it, and or sell it with a hook
This is what they do, they are the taker, the f-ckin crook.
It don’t even matter, see, it’s me against the world
I fear none but God, my message, for boys and girls
You read this, bear witness and still don’t support it
Only in these United Snakes are Black people divided.
The rest of the world is mad, a product of her fruit
But here, Abrahams seed still don’t have a damn clue
They’re killing each other, it’s all part of her plan
Guns, diseases, ignorance, Blackman vs Blackman.
Wickedly wise, sardonic, skillfully to divide and conquer
What’s worse is gang-banging stupid mutha-f-ckers
Hidden Colors 1, 2 and 3, violence trending worldwide
They can’t even tell that they are also, America’s Pride.

About this poem
If you’re scared then you need to leave now, This is no place for cowards. Some people were told to shut up and they did because they scared. Some people sold out and got paid, power, and or position.
