message from yal past

you are now, the masters

the neighborhoods, are the slaves

you acknowledge, 400 years of slavery

to your , recent years as slaves

rarely discussed

who we prayed to, yal don't trust

not just for him, upon us

but for rights, on a bus

we never imagined

how  you would feel

could a , kardashian

date a, emmit till

we fought, for yal future

so that, you could advance

we couldn't march, on washington

if we, sagged our pants

some were crippled

but didn't become crips

we were lynched

years before gena six

dr martin

or travon martin

yal pay more attention

to a lawrence, named martin

and what yal smoke

creates a cloud,

yal ever read about

one named Mary Mcloud

dr dre is incredible

his production, is true

but yal ever, witness art

by what Dr Charles, drew

once again, we'll be ignored

another smirk, and a laugh

this just a message

from all yal past

thank you
