Issues My life was condemned since I was just a fetus
and brought in this land of promise
but nothing is promised
My status and race speaks for itself
loneliness just got put on the shelf
pierced within hated intentions
received a dose of lethal injection
of misunderstanding
of mistaken propaganda
of misplaced love
of misguided self
I couldn't fathom reasons of being treated as less worthy
than my light-skinned siblings
but the pain doesn't stop there
I was constantly reminded
that I will never amount to shit
that implanted pain
all that created by dealing with
oppression.......rejection.........
and lowered expectations
and same race segregation
10 times worse than what whites perceive
what I need is to develop black pride
cuz that's all I have in this world
observing the depictions of how we're portrayed
like way at the bottom of a "he's-so-fine" list
was stepped on like an un-welcome mat
too many rumors and seldom facts
I speak directly to you
force feeding my food through you
with non-asinine thoughts
of darkened couterparts touching on excellence
never feuling on bullshit, but collecting evidence
from science to this great art
and everything in between
see...just because I'm "dark-skinnded or brown-skinnded"
don't mean that my shade can't shine
a newfound pride now able to appreciate
and embrace compared to
when my humanity was rust
when I didn't redeem trust
for all others
my melanin is objectionable
but I can still call myself "BROTHA!!"
Please believe.
