Affirmative Action

I’ll tell you what I think will you think on what I tell? Where the Hell are you while they’re busy whipping me? Persecuted so you say the actions of others affirm it’s the other way around While you claim I am the demon by reflections of the past and the shades of my skin if you look deep inside your own skin You’ll find that your own reflections have sins shining brighter than those that can be claimed mine Put this in your mind while you’re crying for hand-me-outs and how your beliefs are self-condescending like the self-hating Jew Your biggest enemy is not me nor my "kind" rather, it is you
