Slide 

Do we have to let 
White people slide?
Do we have to?
Part of it is our 
Mental slavery…
I know 
I know 
I know 
I always mention 
Our conditions…
But we must know where 
It came from….

It’s sad 
That as black people
We continue to 
Forgive to give a piece of shit 
A pass cos we believe it’s the right 
Thing to do and majority are 
Christians…

Ya we’re kind people 
However there’s a damage 
In our genes that turns to reflex
Compassion is our trauma response 
To our enemies….

It’s why 
I can’t stand 
Our people who are 
Givin these bitch ass racists 
Grace…..after they killed our 
Loved ones…after they called 
Us niggers….after they slapped 
Us in our faces….we keep givin 
Them grace like we’re trained to do….

I keep sayin 
We need to put white folks 
In check….without apologies….
We don’t need kumbaya 
With them especially 
When they hate us hardcore…
We shouldn’t let racism slide 
We shouldn’t forget it….

You can’t forgive 
An oppressor 
Who keeps oppressin you…
You need to defend yourself 
You need to fight back 
The gaslighting 
The manipulation 
Will make you slide 
Don’t let them….

I don’t care about 
Jesus 
I don’t put him in your 
Situation 
Where you feel disrespected 
And You have to defend yourself…
Sometimes you do wanna punch 
A colonizer in the face….

As a black person 
You’re tired 
Of the bull shit
Of the microaggressions 
Of stereotypes 
Of all the things that you have to go through…
You’re not the only one who feels this way…
You never have to let white people slide 
Not even other races….
You stand up for yourself….
You stand up for your community….

I don’t mind 
Watchin black people 
Whoopin white folks’ ass 
On social media, it gives me joy 
Cos who the hell are you talkin to?
We’re not in slavery 
White folks ain’t our masters 
Anymore….
I saw how they act 
Like they’re still slaveowners
They need to get out of that 
And leave black people alone….

They won’t….

Fuck around and find out 
Smack downs 
Does 
Exist…..
We don’t let that bull shit slide 
Anymore….

It does give me hope….

I just wish there were 
More billion of us 
Stand on business 
Instead of tellin other black people 
To let it slide….
