Truth Hurts
lets take a closer look
open up the good book
you'll be amazed at what you see
we as people think we free
but the bible says we living in slavery
welfare and section 8
government taxes that we must pay
project living
dope dealings, robbings and killing
fiends on the prowl
while dogs constantly growl
crack pipes in the streets
who can stand the heat?
living paycheck to paycheck
trying to figure out our next step
paying the bills
but yet and still
we in the same predicament
dreaming and wishing for lottery settlements
not knowing who we really are
steady wishing on stars
not knowing esau from Jacob
they showed our people such hatred
yet and still we kill one another
well look closer because that's your brother
we from the same tribe
our fallen brothers that have died
are turning in their graves
while you shoot, kill, rant and rave
they died for the cause
while you fools shoot just cause
they want to kill off our society
were becoming an impropriety
people walking in the streets
protesting for what they believe
police only patrol the hood
while they treat esau's people all good
Jacob gets the ladder
our people steady getting madder
esau sold his birthright for a bowl of lentil soup
then gathered up his troops
and made slaves out our people
then wrote we created equal
yet we are the minority
but by who's authority?
but the bible clearly states the truth
that we the 12 tribes came from Christ roots
ceasaer white washed their faces
during the rebirth of the white civilization
our birthright and heritage is what they have taken
truth hurts that's why I wrote this poem
because so many of my people are still unknowing
