Misunderstood
I’m not really much of a poet
But know I can talk about a lot of crooked mess
Cuz u never know what you’re really capable of
Until you’re put thru the right test.
See where I come from we go thru a lot of stuff
Just to be told to hush
Don’t even get me started talking about minorities
Cuz then ppl really ain’t gone give a crud
But that’s okay you see it all the time
In the movies and in the music
Hate on hate crimes and another brother misusing
Why people wanna dramatize our lives so much
Lie we dnt got a lot goin on already
Oh I get it they love to see that black drama
Sumthin for they entertainment
But tell me here right now when they gone start showing the love
Me and all my brother and sisters going to college so we can try to rise above
But ain’t nobody talking about that, all they know is the stereotypes
The only know bout the ghetto baby moms using the govts money to get sum like idk, baby wipes
Dude I swear they dnt wanna see us prosper
No matter how hard we try
Why u think these white cops killing the black guys on the street thinking that that mess is justified
Oh he ran up on me, he tried to assault me
Nigga u got a gun
U think black folks really gone put themselves in the position to try to get on y’all nerves just to get killed for fun
Man I dnt wanna hear it, not none of tht bullcocky they tryna feed me
What I really wanna hear is what the govt got to say about it
And how their polices’ work is done so effectively
And don’t take these as I dnt like white ppl
I ddnt say that
I jst wanna know what their phobia is against us blacks
Is it jst because we look different and our culture isn’t the same
Or are they jst tired of life’s problems and wanna look to give us the blame
I can’t tell the different nowadays
And it’s gone take a lot to prove me otherwise
I’m just tired of being looked down at all the time and feeling like I’m despised
I just wanna be apart of a world where everyone gets along
I want tht real brother and sister relationship
Where you’re actually loved and feel like u belong
I’m not gonna lie, I do but I dnt see color
And let me quickly explain that before u go start assuming one thing for another
I see color because I recognize colored injustices
White folks wouldn’t begin to understand bcuz they haven’t been in the same predicaments like us
You ever hear someone saying that white woman are ghetto
But I know u do hear it about black woman with attitudes
And how they need to jst let whatever animosity they got go
Or what about white males, u dnt hear too often how a lot are dead beat dads
You hear about the ones who get pretty wives and join the military so that their kids can be army brats
I could go on and on about the different racial slurs on black folks
But if I do that it’s gonna he enough to last until I eventually croak
Now here’s a reason why I don’t see color, historically and theoretically
If God made us all to be different and love one another then why are we treating his plan for us so disrespectfully
He mentioned in the Bible that it wasn’t up to man to event direct his own step
So who is anyone to try to put someone else down when we all seriously need his help
They say if u need help go see a therapist or a doctor
They ain’t gone do nun but help my physically body
But we need that deep spiritual massaging
You gotta admit tho, if we all let God give us a little TLC
Then maybe then the world would be better cuz then it’d be me=we
United we would stand and together we’d be strong
But we can’t even fix the one on one relationships we got
We dnt have good bonds
But seriously man we need to do better for our children sake
Jesus didn’t get up and die for us for nothing on that torture stake
So please man, do not hesitate before it all becomes too late.
