in the rough hard to have
hard to get enough in the rough
like kicked rocks locked in blocks
black diamonds in the rough
roughed up cuffed up sent up
for what dark people my people
my equal
we don't need another
sequel deep inside
we hide our shine
like secrets inside a shrine
what's yours and whats mines
is what's inside those mines
post traumatic victims
of a crime, struggles and pains
from getting jacked
sold for magic beans
"Heru Ra ha"
AIFΑΣΣ
strength is in numbers
some are too lazy to count to 3
sheep that sleep and slumber
a rough state of being
a rough state of mind
in rough times
in the mean time
in the rough in between shines
black dust in cole mines
nothing cuts glass
like a free mind
free mines
untie the hands
of the president so he can
sign on the dotted line
let my people go
Shadrach
Meshach
and
Abednego
give them back their residence
Jerimiah's on fire
Daniels got the lions
crayin in the den
let my people shine
replace their scars
with moons and stars
shine,shine,shine
pay for this crime
for laying my people down
like I laid down these lines
note to self
shine
spill the wine
only in the rough
for the meantime
sober up get some
clean time
black booted
black hooded
black rooted
laced up shoeshine
in a herd of black sheep
look my face up
before I'm face down
still trying to find the riight sound
to wake my people
shake my people
alarm my people
shine my people
