New History

See I've been thinking... 
And on this long one passenger
Journey.....
life represents this revolving mirror of us
Through growth and development
It is relevant that despite our imperfections and reflections When the world falls on your shoulders and no one is by your side
lift your head up
look in the mirror
and ask who am I
Better yet who are you
To judge the life i live
Don't expect people to understand my grind when God didn't give them my vision
My intuition is repetition
now looking down on the next generation is full of
Degrading children and women
This is sickening
Injecting our  young and women with these mental health conditions while all the men are locked up in prison
What's more to say
This is more then a
Gasp of air that you'll take away
And this isn't just for the Black community anymore
Because now religion keeps
Us at war
Tell me what color
Are the janitors mopping up the floor but they laugh at you
Given up hope in our unity
Because you want to live filthy saying "yo that wasn't even me" when it's as truly as can be
You want to go to college but you can't see past the tv....
