If Your Not the Part of the Solution Your the Part of the Problem

I’m from the hood where the politicians don’t do squat for the poor/ I represent the modern day Black man/ The Black educated politician and activist that care about only one Damn thing when the stuff hit the fan! “They Damn Self!” It’s like a wise man once said “Never let the left hand know what the right hand do” meaning keep all of the right hands right and all of the left hands left/ Ever since then the tradition has been eating off the next mans death/ It’s like a jungle sometimes it makes me wonder whether I should go buy books or go buy a T.V,/Then again I wonder what’s wrong with these rap artists calling us window shoppers like we nothing! Then them same rap artist turn around and beg us to go buy they C.D/ “Buy Black Owned!!” “Keep the Money in the Hood!” That’s all you hear/ We tried and it went/ Now at the same time I’m behind in my rent/ I hate the usage of the word *******! But when I look at these new condos being built all around Harlem/ I realize ******* got a problem/ The rent not affordable/ They go do what they wanna do/ just to get ******* out of Harlem/ What happened to all the great MALCOLMS, MARTINS, and MARCUS/ Cause all we got now is a bunch of fake FARRAKHANS, SHARPTONS and BARRAKAS!/ nah just kidding!Hopefully not my last hope BARAK OBAMA! But I wonder when it’s all go stop!/ Cause when I look at my peoples now a days/ All I see is “I see DISASTER!! And realize “Yeah we still SLAVES”/ But the sad part is WE THE MASTER!!
