| Write for a reason “We need to make the black youth of this nation feel that it’s better to be an Entertainer of Athlete then a doctor or lawyer” That’s what this nation wants for us Their hopes and dreams of us Is to live and die and be seen Be good looks and great music High jumpers and fast runners Running backs and point guards Home run hitters and million record sellers Rap acts and movie Bozacks While eating hog malls and fat backs Asking KFC to sponsor our family get togethers Fuck around and die trying to get better After spending our lives soaking up propaganda Black man under cover gay White man for black woman she can’t get no better Straight black man thief liar and bad father Black woman hoe slut and multi-baby mother Black child mold for the choke hold of media’s lies Little black girl don’t take long to break shy Little black boy die never being a man in their eyes And all this goes on under so called black leaders watchful eyes That too is of no surprise since many are sent as spies Redirecting movements to investments Spending cash for white gold replacements After they take the non-profit kick backs We buy into a “Negro” fund that few benefit from Where in college knowledge become secondary When studying for a good job is the primary goal So is nobody reading because it fundamental NO MORE All the while I hear the songs play in the corners of my mind Titles redefined with time BEFORE I BE A SLAVE I hear screamed from beyond the grave Telling me to stand speak and write for something more than fame But do it for a reason make enlightenment your life’s mission Never wait for their permission to speak Because your hand will be cut off long before your call on to be A leader of your own The spook behind the door Bring rise from below So write for a reason And let your actions be the story told Jalili B.
