Onyx
My skin is as dark as night,
similar to Onyx and Obsidian,
Hair bushy and sun-kissed,
but that don't mean I always got a gun attached to my hip,
If my melanin offends you - I have nothing to tell you,
because I'm unapollogetically black,
The stereotypes you try to put on me, don't seem to be intact
cause my father is in my life
I don't sling crack,
I'm not a violent gang-banger,
Nor a pregnant teenager,
I'm aiming for a few degrees,
I won't abide by the statistics you put out for me,
cause your shooting our precious every day,
let me just say a few names,
Trayvon, Tamir, Sandra, Eric,
Amadou, Sean, Micheal and Freddie,
Tanisha, Akai, Walter, Keith,
Philandro, Bernard, Aiyana who was supposed to turn 8 in 13 weeks
Terry Lee, Johnathan, Alton, Felix Kumi,
all who was shot to death by some scared ass police,
I don't know about you but Black Lives Matter to me,
and I won't apologize for my melanin no matter
how many guns you shoot at me,
unapollogetically.
