Black History


We went from being treated as dogs to acting like monkies We went from being chained to acting a fool with a chain We lost our way On the road to peace The white man aint a threat It's the niggas in the street The word nigger is a perfect term to describe ratchet black Now we get laughed at instead of whipped on our backs Slavery is old school a white man aint gon tell me what to do I'm going to smoke this weed and thank God that I'm free Black History thoughts We went from being slaves to having a chance to be a boss Learn your facts Learn your past We overcame the biggest handicap in the world, Being Black

this is sad, but true it's amazing that people take one's independence and freedom for granted it's important that minorities dont settle for less and legitimize themselves great job
