Deeds Not Words YOU HAD BETTER GO ASK SOMEBODY
Words of Black Man Struggling To Survive
They said our people were forever slipping
That our thoughts never seemed to move towards gripping
The gravity of your plans against us seem to keep us always tripping
People’s who loved to hear lies while never reading the newspaper clippings
Thinking you only taught us about life’s jigging
Avoiding the essential fact that life demands economic riggings
Slicing up our communities for others to feed
While our children continue to suffer in others greed
Lead on the wall and in the pipes
Brains deadened so who believes the hype
As this words I appear to type
Children die whose there too gripe?
So now you know our sufferer’s pain
Who in America’s scheme now stands to gain?
Consequently the bricks starting chipping
Our people’s resolve finally pushing back
Against this nation’s constant need too press us back
Forever clipping wings of progressive flight
Surely thinking you stole all of our might
Damn you knew that wasn’t even right
So decided we all stood finally realizing
That together banded we were now no longer tripping
No more slinking fools with unkempt tools
Your undefined ruse ignited our pent up fuse
We no longer wanted to pay a sucker’s dues
Nor play by those pre-established rules
Waiting Waiting Waiting Whack
Blasting Blasting Blasting Back
Never Again Moving Moving Moving Back
You see a dance you hear a song
You fail to see that we no longer will just move along
Moving to all those simple beats
While still catching all of society’s bitter heats
So when see Lamar’s uprising
Why do I get sense you find that quite surprising
That Bey’s gone back to whence she came
Colored black oh she hadn’t lost track
Y’all seemed overly concerned just with her rack
You must admit it is definitely stacked too attract
Understand America it’s is simply no game
You see we as a people can no longer be tamed
Nor can we continued to be shamed
Nor we will ever think we have no blame
For we refused to understand how forceful was America’s scheme to maim
So as I said in my initial thought
Damn, I hope these words are not just for naught
They said our people were forever slipping
That our thoughts never seemed to move towards gripping
The gravity of your plans against us seemed to always keep us tripping
But today my friends we are not ripping, slipping, tipping, or tripping
Today my friends we together hand and hand are gripping.
