Schizophrenic Media

My life has been shaped by those who pretend to listen to the voices

In poverty 90% of your time is dedicated to being what they show you on television

I had high hopes because I was told I had access to unlimited choices

But my choices are truly controlled by mass media

BET told me that it is okay to sell drugs, rob, and kill

It is okay to consider college but they rather see us serve in the military

TBN will pray for me as long as I have monetary incentives

Fox News say people like me are too fragile and sensitive

CNN pretends to love me but thrives on my pain

Deflategate has seen more press coverage than the million homeless children in America

No wonder we are confused

If mass media were a person it would be a schizophrenic money hungry dude

My choices are truly limited

My school curriculums never spoke of Nat Turner, Mansa Musa, Marcus Garvey, or Black Wall Street

But I was relentlessly taught that the Pilgrims were glorious

The same group of individuals who killed off the Indians

My life is controlled by an unknown force which sits up high

But not higher than my God
