Y'es sir

jesus crossA no good thugA colored boy mulattoNot raised rightDisrespecting the lawA criminal at the core of his DNA negroStrip him down of all his humanityRevoke his right to vote and set him off to fight the fires of the white wealthy for chump changeBut no it’s not about raceMis-educate him and leave him to fend for himself among the chaos that is his historyWe all done deserve what comes to us if we don’t keep our nose cleanConcrete wall paper and liquor store hallways are no excusePull yourself up ingrateI did itI got byI succeededNo one paved the way for meSlavery has nothing to do with the politeness I choose to put in my voiceBus boycotts and water hose beatings did not touch my college fundCrack, Heroine, dead beat dads and single moms has nothing to do with my inheritance of loveMy suburban security and ambition has no bearing on your decision toAct a foolPull your pants up and speak to me proper boyA bullet in the head helps the heart of this civilization make peace on the dead souls of your ancestors
