PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

if ya feel me,

throw ya hands up

if you tired of

niggas being niggas

saying they don't give a fuck

throw ya hands up

if you tired of hearing excuses

for the abuses and nuisances

of young us, then holla back

and throw ya hands up

if ya tired of trying to live right

while the nigga standing on the

corner is living foul but tight

then throw ya hands up

if you can't stand to see

your fam living on dependency

then throw ya hands up

if you trying to make moves

and seem to be stuck

tired of making ends meet

and being down on your luck

then sit back and breathe

and throw ya hands up

if you tired of being compared

to barbie dolls that only exist

in boxes on toy store walls

then, i'ma need you to scream

and then throw ya hands up

if you tired of images on tv screens

of big booty hos and rappers

who don't say shit unless

they're talking about rims and bling bling

then throw ya hands up

if you tired of bullshit

coming from every which way

take a minute to relieve some stress

and throw ya hands up

and while ya at it, go ahead and give ‘em

that ever, expressing finger in the middle.
