Coupe Deville or Coup D'etat (bloody revolution)
Peanut Butter colored leather high backs, CD changer pounds premium sounds. conditioned air, 5th wheel in the rear, windows limo tinted, don't stare, don't stare.Suspension suspended in Cabrinni Green digging the scene with the gangster lean. Rollin the luxury penitentiary penthouse outhouse, big white house , Handouts on Jesse Jacksons clout. Creature comfort sedates higher learning striving for higher earning, Mississippi still burning, Black sheep wear fleece on their backs drowning in a salty sea of complacency. Power steering steering around pot holes called confrontation. Fuel injected acceleration leaving Kwame Ture' Marcus Garvey Steven Biko in the slow lane. Paid full sticker price with ill gotten gains. Of what price fame? Of what price assimilation? Of what price integration? Coupe Deville or Coup D'etat... (bloody revolution)

Nice flow! my first thought while reading the first four lines was those famous lyrics: " diamond in the back, sunroof top... you know the rest. Then low and behold, the 5th line finished them up for me. A great visualization as well. Thanks for sharing.
