Since I knew you
You were mine,
My chocolate hint of Eve's desire,
Rippled flesh covered
in silver drops.
Sweat,
Deligence,
Not willed but forced.
Among the cocoa,coffee,cotton,
You have ploughed, cut and picked
Indignity,
Shame,
Disgrace
I knew you,
My Black Prince,
Through showers of rules and laws,
Painted white across the board of your mind.
Then,
The light shun on you,
The spotlight,
But brought little hope of change to
My Blackman
But things have changed my Blackman.
What have you become?
You set the stage for beauty,
Of Strength,
Of Survival,
But cruise through it,
Abuse it,
Misuse it.
To bling,
Nigerratti ruling da streets,
No man cum pon you,
Or 'im get shot,
Nigga.
Nigga..That word
You dim it,
The spotlight,
Clouding it with dusts if laziness,
With specs of hate,
With guns,
With blood,
Your own Blood.
Get off the stage blackman.
You've spoilt your own show.
