Don't wanna hear anymore
promises from the President
or his friends on Capital Hill...
everytime they open their mouth
we get the raw end of a deal...
Politicians lying...
while innocence are dying...
lawmakers conducting
their own revisions...
we would be foolish to think it
will get any better...
Separate but Equal...
they say...
sixty years of civil destruction...
they caused...
promises to black folks that
they were going to indemnify
for the chains, whips, lynching,
burned crosses and cotton fields...
impossible...
paying us back our 40 acres
they swore...
Affirmative Action...
Welfare...
they created...
come on people...
to keep us down
not elevated...
Spreading the news on TV
about a brother and his problems...
manipulating the people to
judge the differences
into a conviction...
yet...
are we going to another country
trying to take what's not ours...
with no acceptions...
no debates...
die or accept our dictate?!!!!
Cops locking us up
for bogus charges...
crimes we didn't commit...
lessoning our demeanor in society with police files that aren't right...
for lack of evidence...
just another cover up strategy...
and they call this repenting
Dear Father...
I pray for piece and serenity...
guidance and grace....
mental capabilities to understand and forgive the inadequacies of the human race....
