Black is Mouse, White is Elephant (Tell it how it T. I. is...)
I guess how WE feel is just irrelevant (hun?),
Black is mouse, white is elephant,
Some may say that they both gray,
That's when I jump into the fray!
Imma stay hell-bent for justice,
When the powers that be, bum rush us,
Did you see Ieshia Evans standing strong and serene?
As the heavily armed police rushed toward her at full steam!
While the cowards and photojournalists waited behind the scene,
To capture and sell our patented design,
You'd think we'd revolt, but it happens almost everytime!
It's like they have a monopoly,
On our souls and intellectual property,
Still, we infinitely overcome adversity, making dollars out of dimes,
F@#k pulling up boot straps!
I wear wingtips, and I want MY GOT DA@# country back!
America's superpower came from our ancestor's strain,
Slaves harvesting cotton, tobacco, and sugar cane,
Crispus Attucks lived and died for America's Revolution,
Unappreciated patriots stay agitated because our liberty should never be prorated or debated but our freedom and opportunity always ends up getting confiscated when we get money and power, it always gets raided, RIP Black Wall Street and Black Panther Party Incorporated, decimated like cancer, grief paralyzes our ambitions, chasing education burdened with hella debt and tuition, not confident as the token black, subtle now when they attack, just joking, but then you realize that you've been the butt all along, stay strong, credit to your race don't let a ni@@er moment be your disgrace, our boss, money, and god all bear a white face, Europeans possess 9/10th of the world's wealth and law, they even seized make-believe, got my seed writing a white Santa Claus! Damn they hold all cards, gamble/deal/steal/spar its a fixed game, nothing will change...unless...yes... Revolution.
