My Black Anxiety
The sky just reminded of faith
I walk away
Soon king will look up one day
I’ll even feel the blessings of summer air
With graceful energy
I wouldn’t care if it rained
See I’m a black man with something in my mental
My vernacular is perfect
My smile is expensive
My skin is dark
but beautiful as liquid gold
I shall die on the road while innocent
Candles shall light for my remembrance
Never mind
you can’t kill me
I been rich
I know all my amendments
Dinner with people who ancestors spoke the N word but I never hear it
Opposite races building a friendship
We can not control the message it’s so encrypted
I cheated on every female that was a princess
Wake up in the morning to mentions
I fall victim to my inner pride
Tall glass of vicious wine
I’ll go to sleep around dinner time
Key lime pie as she finish lines
Victimized myself as I’m approaching wealth
I go missing all the time
A cell phone wouldn’t help
Deleted numbers
And I change phones
At the gun range with saint Moses
When the hunger came I became hopeless
Full stomach now with the same homies
Everybody wanna put a name on me
As I awake
It’s a must that I check the safe
To much money on the line
Haven’t seen my son in over 70 days
Visits to my mama grave
I’m still a slave
Locked in my room
I’m shocked I’ve been groomed
As an House N
Who am I without them
Shocking
This jewelry is my bell
I’ll never be able to run away
Invisible plantations in America today
