Hoax

Color my history book 
Manipulate the mothers and destroy the youth
They disguise truth because of the way I look 
The way my people look, the way my continent looks 
Army suits and black boots march towards my village destroying our fruits
Now we starve naked but that’s that
Exploit our fruits, what’s that? 
It’s tough growing up black because in Africa poverty walks
The worlds greatest HOAX

Black Monday

Maybe not today or tomorrow, but one day! 
The rain will wash my melanin away, black Monday
 
All we inherit is mortgages & curses
Cheap labor has become my purpose
Not today, because I woke up feeling rather hopeless
Does the lord care,my prayers seem so worthless 

Life in the village , life in the wilderness 
Not the same words some say, but today 
has been an awful black Monday!
