The story of success
The story of success
Had been erased off
Off the ground
For some reason
Certain townsfolk
Get jealous of
People who accomplished things
So unapologetic....
It happened everywhere
In a country where townsfolk
Hide their own blood...you know
This is history right?
The story of success
Isn't taught in school
Hmm I wonder why
The story of success
Gets destroyed
Cos people got better than
Other people....
Better than townsfolk
So what did they do?
They came with hoods
Riotin families homes
Babies cryin
Men lynchin
Women screamed
Stores
Schools
Libraries
Everythin was crashin down
Cos
Townsfolk was jealous
They even turned someone's county
Into a lake...yet it became a ghost town
The story of success
Has changed into
A haunted tale
Where ancestors
Walk around with so much
Hurt...so much trauma
And townsfolk be like get over it
It's in the past to other generations from
Their great grandparents
Who witnessed the horrific violence
The happenings
The events
The story of success
Wasn't written in textbooks
Cos
America doesn't wanna admit
The guilt
They don't wanna go on
A guilt trip.....
The story of success
Is what I'm referrin to
Black towns....
They were successful
Til wicked white people came
Over and burn our shit to the ground...
There are so many bones
Still on the ground
With broken hearts
Askin why....
Cos townsfolk meanin
White people were jealous....
White America got so angry
That black towns has a success story
To the point they violently made it into a
Myth..
This is why
We should never forgive such a thing
Even they apologized years and years later
We shouldn't forgive....
We shouldn't forget....
Never forget the story of success
In black towns
Like black Wall Street
Lake Lanier
Senance village
Oscarville
Etc.
We need to learn about
Them.... we need to learn
About how we didn't protect
The story of success....
How a white woman weaponize
Rape against the black man
How the mobs of white men with guns
And ropes and matches from different states
And how black people tried to escape....
We get triggered....
Cos our people got abused from
Townsfolk white America
They were jealous of how more successful
We are...they were outraged
They were like y'all ain't allowed to be
Better than us, especially when we're under a
System of white supremacy... and the fact
They don't have power over the black towns....
I always think about black people are too afraid
Of buildin their own town cos of what happened....
And that they would give up...sad part about it is
Givin up is givin more power to white people...
Also we are conditioned not to be on our own
Only to be integrated with the other races...
White supremacy created divisions for black people
Cos white people need black people....it's another reason
To sabotage a black town a success story....
The only reason the success story
Has been damaged rippin off pages
Cos of envy cos they need us the most.....
They won't admit it....
They won't admit their wrongdoings
But their white privilege told us
That we don't talk about it...some of us quickly hush...
Some of us were outspoken about the success story....
When we talk about how success
These black towns were
Townsfolk would shake, tremble
With fear cos they know exactly what their ancestors did...
And they're benefitin from it....
