Superb Magic

Greatest magicians Came from America been here since it's exitence All they did was paint a picture with everything good put in our vision Like Obama poll position Saying this makes up from when you hung dead on poles from lynches Did a spell that made us believe we grab change and clinched Filthy with hatred so we cleansed it That's the general consensus This hocuspocus Like a black man as potus Is posted In our brain putting us out of focus Pullin the rabbit out of a hat While they pull a trigger in a black mans back Innocent at that Already contained And it clear to see in the video frame That wasn't your tazor committn a remedial slain And justice system still isn't sane So how much have we changed How crooked is the frame Still the same ammount below the poverty line Go there you'll probably find Out that it's drug infected Same thing you'll find on a college campus but yet we the ones arrested Dejected Made to believe we're far from precious Success is a game we are unworthy contestants We're still ethicly bias Change has come you'll be fool buy it Pick a card any card While they pick a nigga any nigga to incarserate Now you can legally discriminate As we know history indicates He'll end back behind bars or carted away Painting canvases with blood and street with white chalk image in a childs mind will stay Lindsay lohan and Lebron dominate the press Obama mentioning lebrons new address But the Oscar Grant verdict has yet to be addressed Wave the wand it's oblivious We've been deluded Yea we have made improvements But there's millions of colors in prisons but a few thousand in a college instituition Why are so many minorites locked up I bet if you took half that number Aganist Half the country that's dumber To vote Bush back in in 2004 And add the others in poverty put through this astonishing horror We may be out this meaningless war If you think this country has reconstructed Magic you've been struck with

just a wonderfull true write, I'm not sure whether or not you should leave all those misspellings in there? You have a real way with words! Light & Love [ps you could add in where the only place there is for a minority to be garunteed a job is in the military blocking bullets for housing and healthcare]
