"Really You Think We Didn’t Know? Come on America Black Folks Aren’t Late For This On-Going Show
“You want to know what this was really all about?” he asked with the bluntness of a man who, after public disgrace and a stretch in federal prison, had little left to protect. “The Nixon campaign in 1968, and the Nixon White House after that had two enemies: the antiwar left and black people. You understand what I’m saying? We knew we couldn’t make it illegal to be either against the war or against the black race, but by getting the public to associate the hippies with marijuana and blacks with heroin, and then criminalizing both heavily, we could disrupt those communities. We could arrest their leaders, raid their homes, break up their meetings, and vilify them night after night on the evening news. Did we know we were lying about the drugs? Of course, we did.”

Reflecting Back Is America Ever Going To Be On Justice's Track
Didn’t Gil inform us of this or was it a dream
Damn America why now do you scream
The forces of democracy have never been on our team
Haldeman, Ehrlichman, Mitchell, and Dean
Of course, they were a part of a murderous scheme
Plying drugs to black folks that were the theme
You see the absence of justice was what Nixon deemed
If you read Yette’s Choice than you know evils voice
Now it's 2016 so its time to blow truth’s steam
Dammit America black folks bout to bust some seams
You think all those drugs flew in the jet stream
All Nixonites wanted was to be forever supreme
Keep all those freaking negroes out the mainstream
Paddling up life issues while headed constantly downstream
Those Nixonites only wanted black folks facing injustice’s extremes
Plying drugs to black folks was definitely the theme
Keeping it secret for so long well that was the scheme
If you think we didn’t know well you simply daydream
We never held any Nixonites in illustrious esteem
Hell most us took those drugs to release pent-up steam
You see back then the body bags came from the jungle
Due to our nation’s bureaucracy’s tendency to bungle
And in one big swell swoop came this drug class struggle
Just because a fool in theWhite House decided to smuggle
By placing drugs in those bags of cold bodies to snuggle
So don’t you dare come now with this talk of forgiveness
What did to us then was definitely quite vicious
Now this talk today only makes me more suspicious
These acts against us should make us seditious
Or I guess you want us to be fictitious
Maybe that’s why so many of us aren’t ambitious
So Gil wrote then with his fountain pen
Haldeman, Ehrlichman, Mitchell, and Dean
Were all apart of this murderous scheme
To steal Black America’s dream
Plying drugs to the black communities was the theme
Keeping as many negroes as possible out of the mainstream
Keeping them constantly paddling upstream
And out of the economic growth jet stream
Why is 2018 still like 1971 in our communities
Is it because we are still hooked on that scheme
That our government created to steal our beautiful black dreams
Now that is one devious ass scheme
You see they did more damage than killing our dreams
How many lives were lost in this murderous scheme
You decided to built jail cells and developed cartels
Kept most of Black America in a living hell
Why the hell didn’t we openly rebel
Once we got wind of this hate-filled intel
So as I conclude this piece
You think our black community will ever find peace
Or will our progress cake keep falling because of hate flavored yeast?
