Where Im From

CATEGORY

life

Views: 251

Im from the land of lost souls, sirens are lullabies, and man's heart's froze
Media depicts an image, for ratings with gimmicks, portraying we're savages fit for substandard conditions
All for pictures and plaques from top businessmen and politicians, the same ones who profit and contribute to our step stool position
We are not all to blame for how we've been living, how do you expect to know more when you havent been taught any different
You defend the injustice, when the list of legal corruption stretches 1000 miles high, and the blood from our labor runs like the river Nile
This country was built on our backs and yet we still get attack, but my smile's wide
I beat the stereotype...
Is your fear of me, or fear of my might? Do you fear my success, or fear my fight?
Do you fear my intelligence and your ignorance will prove me right? 
Or do you you fear the truth, that I didnt choose this life? 
I just play the hand Im dealt, and I played them well...
Im racist America's worst nightmare, a successful, intelligent black male...
