Apocalypse (The Last Will Be First..)

CATEGORY

life

I 
chill if you want to
not telling you what to do
'cause someone else will

II
ancestors crying
tears rising from southern graves
why didn't you vote? 

III
no democracy
will never see it again
enjoy while it lasts

IV
no truth to be told
debates in jailhouse pinstripes
and they still vote red

V
no more equal rights
the supreme court will block it
he won six to three

VI
a thief in the night
you shoulda seen it coming
a thief in the day

VII
sometimes I wonder
what was slavery really like
find out soon enough

VIII
no black on black crime
all legal and proper-like
open and shut case

IX
when they said he won
the book of revelations
will be CNN

X
need Marcus Garvey's
road map back to Africa
motherland, save me

XI
Lincoln and Douglas
they ain't nowhere to be found
twenty-twenty four
