A Black Thought

One day I just want to mean something If I could be something I will dream nothing Pharaohs wore gold so I suppose I’ll keep stunting I’m trying to fight for my rights but every night I keep running Isn’t astonishing that I’m a black man that can’t stand being moderate It was my plan to take over in politics, but damn I can’t even get a scholarship Am I different because I’m fatherless? I been living my life for a while, but as your child I wanted you to be a part of it Sometimes I feel like the only thing that is close to me Are Basic instructions before leaving earth grandma said I’m supposed to read But it’s more to me. I survive, feed, and remain fly Either I’m a soaring eagle or one of god’s chosen people I hate the word potential, I will come 1st no matter what I been threw And when things get worse I remembered how to kneel Numb to what’s real I forgot how fraud feels How we against each other but worship the same god still? As long as we bleed the same we are the same.
