I can understand
Why there are black people
Who wanted to give up
On black communitiesâĻ.
Cos nobody is listeninâĻ
Everybody is ignorin a voice
Of reasonâĻ. I wanted to give up,
Too cos nobody is readin my poems
About black peopleâĻI felt like
They donât wanna paste their
Hearts on my insightful metaphorsâĻ
I wanted to help them by writin to themâĻ
Then I forgot that many of us has that readin
Syndrome been passed up from slaveryâĻmeanin
Back then our ancestors werenât allowed to readâĻ
Also our own tongues were forced to taste English
For the first timeâĻthe fact is black people grew
Not to careâĻnot sayin all of us but some do care
Some do help the black communityâĻ. I thought I could help
Them with my poems, warnin them about white supremacyâĻ.
And how it was dangerousâĻthese poems are not published
In books, theyâre on social mediasâĻ cos weâre on social media
A lot. I thought maybe a black poem can heal our trauma, encouragin
Us to break a curseâĻ.a poem that teaches us how to love ourselves
And love each other..thereâs nothin wrong with being blackâĻnothin
Wrong with our melaninâĻ.white supremacy is violently jealous of usâĻ
Of how we pop in the sunâĻ.and we stay youngerâĻ
White supremacy has this small amount of people on the planet
And weâre majorityâĻand theyâre tellin us what to do cos they have to
SurviveâĻA lot of black people donât careâĻA lot of black people are still in
A deep sleepâĻa lot of black people are still fightin each other while
Racism dirty ass foot on our necksâĻitâs frustratin that some black truth tellers
Canât wake them up, itâs difficult to realize that we canât save everyoneâĻwe have to leave
Them behindâĻ.i was Told not to post racism on the internet cos I got white friendsâĻI got
White people helpin me.. but how Am I going to help black people? How am I goin to wake
Some or most of them up? How am I goin to do the right thing?
If I hate my blackness and my own people, and I was too ignorant
I wouldnât be writin my black poetry from my soulâĻ.
If I write about ableism, nobody would bat an eyeâĻ.
But if I write about racism, there would be raise eyebrowsâĻ
Like I canât talk about itâĻlike I donât experience itâĻ
From my understandin, racism should be talked about
Cos too many of us experience itâĻwe get under the attack cos
The color of our skinâĻitâs so important to represent the issueâĻ.
I donât give a fuck about white people feelings..I give fucks about
My peopleâs feelingsâĻblack people feelingsâĻthis is not the exploitation
Bull shitâĻ.Iâm fightin for our humanity through stanzas Iâm fighting for us
As humansâĻcos everyday white supremacy keeps remindin us weâre not humanâĻ
But we areâĻthereâs nothin wrong with black peopleâĻ.the only thing wrong is
Our illnessesâĻour conditionsâĻ.our Stockholm syndromes our self hate behaviors
All the things that traces back to slavery, traces back to colonization..we still have identity crisis
Whether we realize it or notâĻ. We also disrespect ourselves a whole another levelâĻand itâs really sadâĻ
I understand why some black people gave up on our own race, cos countless of them are so lost in the sauceâĻbut thereâs still hope somewhere in us that one day we rise up like a messiahâĻ
And crush down the whole global systemâĻcos I always thought possible things.. we donât know itâĻ
If that anger comes through our bones, we can get shit all the way doneâĻ
Unfortunately, weâre not that angryâĻI think slave mentalities might block our angerâĻI could be wrongâĻ
I will not stop writin poems about black peopleâĻand racismâĻand post them onlineâĻ
Because it needs to be talked aboutâĻitâs a real life issueâĻitâs abuse of powerâĻ
Black people need to understand thatâĻthatâs the reason why I write about itâĻ
Constantly, I gotta remind black communities that weâre not animals in so many other wordsâĻ
Weâre humansâĻwe do existâĻwe feel painâĻwe get angryâĻwe cryâĻ.and again
White supremacy was like nah, yâall ainât humansâĻthey show us that lots of times in so many waysâĻ.
Like we ainât allowed to be a humanâĻ.white supremacy didnât allowed a black man to be a manâĻ
Have you noticed? I did.. I wrote about itâĻ.weâre at warâĻ.a lifetime war..
Iâm just warnin black people as much as I canâĻI donât really care if I get cancelled or notâĻ
