The Amount

August 17, 2014

Liberal. The word liberal

It means to have an abundance of

Anything physical, mental, emotional, and the literal

For instance, we black people have a liberal amount of intelligence

But we also have a liberal amount of ignorance

We have a liberal amount of rich culture

But we also have a liberal amount of guns hung over our shoulders

And 12 year old black boys with guns in their holsters

We have a liberal amount of love and affection 

And a liberal amount of hateful shooters around us for protection 

And never doubt the fact that they'll come at you hard like an erection

Blacks have a liberal amount of funds gained through knowledge 

Blacks have a liberal amount of funds gained through malice

We have a liberal amount of cool talents that could change our lives and

Put extra change in our wallets and for that change in your wallet

There has been a liberal amount of blood spilled on my little cousin's

Shoes from New Balance
