How much more will people take
before they decide to fight back
For goodness sake?

the grooved
rides better than the paved

long ways from bondage,
but at the turn around
seems to be heard
silent whispers of enslavement.

Change it to 4 out of 5 Black males
will own their own businesses
by the time they turn 25;
statistical chaos tells me
the violent tongues and devious minds
are more than bias -
Where do you see yourself?

The grooved pavement rides better
than the paved

Fbook live,
nodding away
skin popping in alley dives,
kids onlooking
wondering if ma & dad will survive -
where you be?
where you heading?
in this time of misleading,
cannibalism, on each other we're feeding

When you're gone
what will you be leaving?
