Black is Black

Purpose: No matter the social class you elevate to...you're still treated in some form to the degree of your race..

Colin Kaepernick,
Raising my fist,
Because life didn't give me shit,
And I grew up with some privileges,
But life still reminds me,
I'm black as shit,
Stifled by the knowledge I didn't know,
How the fuck, was I supposed to grow,
Glow up in this world,
When my family never knew the mountain top,
Because we never been exposed,
Lack of privilege,
Make you flat broke,
A veil over your eyes,
Some shit, you would never know,
I'm not scared of my people,
I'm afraid of cops,
Because I know when my own will shoot me,
But the cops mind fuck me with videos,
Of us getting shot because of stereo,
Types that they place on us,
You can do right by the law,
And get popped just because,
I can be a lawyer or doctor,
An innocent black with a proper,
Tone of speech,
But that still don't stop them from shooting me,
To be black,
Is to be a target

Inspired by Marvin Sapp's "Never Would Have Made It"

Never would have made it, Would be in the grave if, That knife was closer, If that condom wasn’t trustworthy, If them bullets didn’t call somebody else home, You have no idea, How many nights I cried alone, Because my sins were tucked at home, While my conscious dome, Realize God, Let me walk publicly distant from, The struggles I struggle with, When no one talking, Just the devil at my brain, Constantly knocking, I would have never made it to my success, Went through battles, Though no visible battle scars, Just PTSD, And hidden flaws, Things still trigger me, I can’t escape my past, Only can evolve as a person, But can never escape my innate ability, God saved me, But tug of wars I still see Writer: @living_everyday_optimistically (L.E.O.) - Instagram Fan page: @LJS_Writings - Instagram and Twitter

Inspired by Angela Rye's Comments

They made Angela Rye cry, Time for our form of apartheid, People just starting to be woke, People been hanging from ropes, Even a few months ago, They failed to acknowledge the truth, When it’s been staring at you, 400 years ignored, What does that say about you? It’s cool, You didn’t believe what we say, Then we provided you videotapes, You choke us to death, Shoot us to dead in broad day, And we’re feeling helpless, And our mothers continue to cry every day, I’m still hopeful for better, And I believe in God, Sometimes I wish I could lash out, But my hands are tied, Can’t be the hero my people need, It hurts me to see, The level of success I have, Yet it still don’t matter, They still treat me like a savage, Hate that our babies have to grow up in this madness, Feel like daily, Amerikkka has given us sadness Writer: @living_everyday_optimistically (L.E.O.) - Instagram Fan page: @LJS_Writings - Instagram and Twit
