BLACK

Ironic how Common releases an album titled "Black America Again" now after the election the country is not a black america again,

I had to tell my mother everything will be okay this morning she didn't even wanna go to work or get out of bed she was mourning,

Cause we live in a red state in the south hatred is rampant,

I knew once she turned from CNN last night her spirit was dampened,

But what did we really expect? 

You think them people gonna let a nigga in then after that have a female be elect? 

Nah...

We been telling them our black lives matter while they kept shooting,

We been standing with our hands up while they kept looting,

Our souls...

They wanna swallow us whole,

My mama told me long ago

"Ain't shit free in this world not even your freedom."

Now i reply what about free doom?

They want to see us all in prison

Don't allow your mind to be imprisoned,

Don't give in to being just another victim,

Support your community,

Stand together for something for once be apart of the mutiny,

We always say why it gotta take the world coming down on us for black folks to stand together,

But maybe this'll cause the spark that'll make us stand forever,

Save the women the mothers the children,

Harm my mother i'm killing,

No remorse no regard they didn't bother to do right by little trayvon,

The list goes on and it's gonna keep growing,

They showing dead black bodies in the street and they gonna keep showing,

Unlock your mind from that cell they put it in and act on your hearts reaction,

This is not a poem it's a call to action, with ferocious passion,

Something we shouldn't be lacking, Especially today..
