Root Word

Depths of concrete jungle

Jungle absent of green

There are vicious scenes

Crosses and lynches

There’s no balance, Naturally

Deaths of Intelligent men and women because of color

A truly Gifted presence now

Still no real change

In this Generation of a overflow in talent

Still can’t get away from the word that holds us down

Its just so Excellent that

We’ve grown as a Race and still can’t get away from using it

In songs, and in and around the streets

Ya’ll don’t see that the more we say it

There is no need for others to be real discrete.
