#the payback

Who gonna give up 

The reparations 

Whom gonna tell

The truth

Why a Brother gotta

Feel like a Slave?

Another month

You gave

Stakes high

War is a reality

Very unsure

Where

You go

To be free

Thoughts 

As a time ago

Forever to be

Smart

Yet never a clear

Path

Wash away

Like a bath 

# can't explore

Rush in ready

Caught as the ever

Inside 

As the event

Walked faster

Truth in sent

Morality 

As like 

Well said

Well

Spent

Hope upon

It all

Recall 

So soon

Being 

Before june

# afraid of Black skin

Fear in the unknown 

Left alone

Shadows and figures

Whom in a dream

Or a reality 

That is a nightmare 

Soul and the bare

Thinking of a time

When you were left

To read, write and be

Aware

The language was raw

Yet it told you

Where you

Could go

Though

Where you

Are

Has been a house

Of hatred 

# War in a War

Thinking of being 

Held as before

Open in the door

Might it seems

Time as truth 

Reality as a place 

Flowing in

A chase

Land and reveal

As to being free

Touch as a eye

Sun in rise

Telling on

Yourself

Given as all

# Black and no politics

Woke up

This morning feeling 

Free

In the land

Mind and space

To be

Whom as it seems

Words as it was

Thoughts

Without

Being pimped

All things

You shared

Handle in care

Imagine 

Ignoring politicians 

And just enjoying 

The air we breath 

Given a sense of pride

The mind in tune

# what happened to Soul music?

Just wanted a groove 

Just wanted the feeling 

Just wanted happy tears

Just wanted good times

Drop them verses

Bring back the melody

Hit me with the bridge

Climb on board

Quality in the hand claps

Finger snaps 

When you feeling it

Then a warm smile

On a cold day is everything 

# walk free

March and be civil

Understand the war

The particular rage

Busting out of the cage

Suggestions 

Around the dawn

Quietly in it all 

Heroes and theme 

Wanted in place

Ease upon

As you chase

Current in blues

Thought out reality

Often what's a brother

To do?
