My Shade

Sat, 10/22/2016 - 13:28 -- Saryn12

Ive got some things on my mind 
And I need to spit them out.
Why are our black people supporting 
False Gods
And our black people not opening 
Our eyes
It's makes me cry to go 
On Facebook and grown women fight 
Having sex before marriage 
With 10 kids 
No job and is on Food Stamps and Checks 
Instead of going to school 
Getting a degree 
Fighting the stereotypes
That's labeled on our heads
Down to our feet.
I'm disappointed in us.
Men not talking care of there kids.
Not in a stable living environment 
Talking about I 
Got "Hoes"
Women letting men degraded them 
Hitting it one night
Getting pregnant later
I'm ashamed of my shade
