Black Man in America

CATEGORY

Views: 1054

I am a black man in America, that makes me subject to random pull overs on the freeway, subject to white women holding their purses when I walk by and I am occasionally used as target practice for cops who didnt do so well in the academy on their gun shoot, see I am a black man in America, I am only cool if I am on TV dribblin a ball, or playin one helluva thug in an on screen role, see when Denzel made training day I was already trained on the way this system works, see I am a black man in AmeriKKKa, three K's, not for the klan, but kids killin kids, see if a white man shoots me its dont shoot my hands are up, if my own shoots me its dont snitch, I am a black man who glorifies the only music that calls our women , I am the black man who has tear drop tattoos and gold grills and wonder why corporations over look me for my business skills you see, I am a black man in america, I blast my music to be heard six blocks from where Im at, I sag my pants to show my ass, I scream soowoo, cuz, F.O.L.K.S. and loc, I dont consider myself official unless I did a stint upstate, I call those of mine who do good in school fake and I discrimintate on any of mine whose skin tone is too light and damn near white, see I am a black man in America, I claim this country profiles me, yet fail to admit I give em the tools for that validation, I love to get on facebook and call my own house s while I am that who just sits in the house, and really dont want that I called a house comin to my house, I uprise and holla come together after my people take anwhoopin, unless thatwhoopin was broadcast on world star hip hop, then it is shared with the masses, see I am a black man in america, when I am pissed off I burn up my own , I change my profile pic to me wearing a hoodie, I am concerned for just a short time span because when the new season of love and hip hop comes on, its *** trayvon, *** oscar, *** eric, *** michael, where is my stevie j at, I am a black man in america, when my own disagrees with my theory I call him coon and victims of slave masters, I am a black man in America who says I hate the stereotypes but only concern myself with the types of stereos in my car, I am a black man who asks the question when will they stop harassing me, I answer it with this, when will we stop harassing ourselves, I claim and bang over a hood in where I own not one brick, unless its a brick of weed or coke, and even I dont own that cause the Mexicans supply that, I am a black man in America, who has just pissed off other black men in America, cause the way this piece started you thought I was gone be on some pro radical , but ttt, I dont conform to the norm and I do intend to offend, you see I am a black man in America, but thats it, I am only in america, I dont try to impact america.....................until happens
