Here is the real deal
ain't no black folks on a US dollar bill

I try not to lie,cheat or steal
just to get my next meal

My 4 year University degree
didn't set me free

At best, I am an indentured servant
regardless that my desire for a better life is fervent

Looking at my bank account I know it
I'm just a "poor semi-righteous poet."
