Just My Thoughts
Just My Thoughts
As the days turn and the clock spins I wonder what’s the struggle
What’s the plight for black men?
Are we to to fade off, lost in the abyss?
Or rise strong like our ancestors did
Kings or Pharaohs
On TV sometimes we act like the emperor with no clothes
Ashamed
Never
More like excited
Cause damn are we clever
I walk into a classroom
Black as ever
My skin I can’t hide from
My struggles … CAN Rise from
I read the papers
See the news
It looks like I’m on the losing team
5 blacks shot last night
Over shoes that we use for hoop dreams
I want to be like Malcolm
No dead that I am Malcolm
The Resurrection of such
He was just a man and I refuse to give up
So I travel this earth ready for our rebirth
Black men the sleeping giant
At times we are both David and Goliath
So turn the TV off, turn the radio down
Black Men …. The Kings of this Nation
OUR TIME IS NOW!

I pray that black men realize their strength and their potential to be the kings black women know they are and need them to be.
