Are We Modernizing or Are We Deformed?

I wake up, peek out of the window to see the dopeness of the sky

Turn on the tv hoping another black person didn't die

If I walk outside the house, will a gun be pointed at my head

Or as I'm walking to school, or lying in my bed

It's hypocritical to scream " Black Lives MAtter" when we kill ourselves

Then when a cop shoots a black, we place that story on a shelve

We have it as a historical moment, and throw around fake tears

But if a brother kills his black brother, that story gets no special light for years

I mean.. I am greatly appalled by the fighting videos on social media

Females unappreciating God's blessings on them, but idolizing hair from India

Or guys with their pants hanging low, like as if society is a jail house

Running around scamming credit cards, these things shouldn't be allowed!

When will us blacks appreciate who are?

Instead of dehumanizing one another by our own skin, or judging each other from afar

Where is our real pride? The one Martin Luther King Fought For.

Not the videos on Facebook fighting each other showing we're mentally poor

Will we ever love one another? Are We Modernizing or Deforming?

How will we take the lead again if all we are doing is fussing?

How will we be one, if we're killing each other's fun?

One little baby boy just go killed, Fourth of July, Gang Violenece it's enough!

Let's teach our kids better, maybe they can set the meter.

That if love is love, and if we have pride, then we have to stick together

Change how we walk, and change how we talk.

If We Want Equality, Let's set The Groundwalk.
