Dirty Art Of Politics

Got the trump infused name callin

try to shame folks

this racist administration a phony

joke a dirty hoax

The whole judicial political system

a very disrespectful joke

trump calls the Demoocrats the dumbocrats    wellI shall coin the phrase repugnent republicans

and the cult driven maga maggots 

What a diabolical grip of nastiness

in this place called America

a Jim Crow racist supreme court

dismantling the Black vote

a sign of the times 

Black folks get out vote turn

things around

Going with the Temptation song Message From A Black Man and the God Father James Brown Say It Loud Im Black and Im Proud

Colorful silky delicate

bobbin dippin like Smokin

colors of the rainbow

Voting Rights (boycott Boycott)

Everything in his power to degrade the Black

voting rights trying his best to supress our vote

but young black voters know the lick they got ways 

to defeat this lame duck trick Black folks goin into their bag of tricks

Old Men Why Didnt U

Been have been at that stage of old age

The page just suddenly turned and like what just happened

I been doing this all of a sudden I cant

took me about 10 years to convince self hey man you

just no more can do then too all these health issues that

just pop up I never was sick what is all this

Old men why you never told the younger ones

bout all these changes waitin to ambush you

I mean u know like hip the next generation give

a heads up Didnt take me long to figure out

Old men didnt know he was askin himself why

the older generation didnt tell us bout this stuff

My song still my versatile running partner Natalie Cole title Old Man
