My Knees don't bend unless.....(my verses in collabo)*

My knees don't bend,
unless I'm prayin
My feet don't move,
unless I hear music playin'


I am a black man
Not colored by the deception 
Of what you think I should be...

A watermelon eating, fried chicken
licking servant, smiling with the ignorance 
Of bright white teeth shucking and jiving,
Lying in the media saying I don't read!!

I stand for peace
Not the police to beat and brutalize me
Because y'all exchange 
Blue uniforms for white sheets
Stopping me because I 'm driving a vehicle
That adds up to your yearly salary!!!


My knees don't bend,
unless I'm prayin'
My feet don't move,
unless I hear music playin'


Just  cuz  my  hue  is  renown  throughout  history
Don’t  mean  I’m  the  first  clue  in  criminal  activities
No  more  than  secret  societies  promoting  conspiracies
Taught  to  children  to  assimilate  more  readily 


All  peeps  created  equal  by  way  of  divine  inheritance
So  don’t  try  to  question  my  test  taking  intelligence
For  my  progeny  have  already  survived  your  projects
To  this  day  we  still  strive  in  your  own  failed  experiment


 My knees don't bend,
unless I'm prayin'
My feet don't move,
unless I hear music playin'


Take  heed  and  relish  in   your  own  cherished  constitution
Employment  opportunities  outsourced  for  foreign  revolutions
Still   asthma  predominantly  affects  inner  city  communities
While   polluted  legislatures   lobbying  for  us  all  to  go  green?

What  do  you  mean?  
I  seem  angry….. Pardon  My  Endurance
Cultivate  an  empire  and  you  to  punk  to  thank  me
Causing  you  confusion  on  restitution  by  way  of  reparations
Apart  of  a  nation….yet  indivisible…as  I  represent  your  last  knight
Happy than  a  muah  2b  the  Spook  that  sits   outside  your  door!

My knees don't bend,
unless I'm prayin'
My feet don't move,
unless I hear music playin'

PEACE  to My Brothers......ONE
