I keep feelin’ effects of the defects
that perplex the projects and respects
the Kleenex that collects the dust of
suspects its own world selects
I keep feelin’ injects of poison where the
only one who elects is one who detects the
wrecks of blank checks and reflects sweat
on the necks of sex
I keep feelin’ dialects that intersect the
birth defects where architects blast sound
effects from their index finger from windows
of my duplex
I keep feelin’ black
I fall under the paperweight factions of
rappers who act like actors who hallucinate
the minds of real estate to populate the
second rate that accommodate the Gold Gate
I fall under the powers that imitate negativity
concentrate or shall I say complicate the
culture that will not elevate or dedicate the time
needed for teachers to educate
I fall under the potential that always seems
to relate to the cell mate through audiences that
captivate intelligence of the mind that would never
activate or stimulate through its own bell ringing
procrastinate
I fall under my skin
I always forget to be wooed by people who glued
Sundays dinner to soul food but reviewed the
crowd who booed when neither team could win or lose
I always forget to include the nude because the
rude never understand the cows who mooed over
those who viewed fast food as tha mouth that
never chewed
I always forget to chase the one who pursued knowledge
and laid in solitude to forget one who interiewed
the eyes that shampooed the multitude of the misconstrued
I always forget to look colorless
I never was on a mission to put competition
before my permission to be put in a condition
to be a musician who’s ambition was to defy
the mind of superstition
I never was a magician because I wanted
admission into a college with tuition higher
than I ever expect to make my disposition
I never was right with my definition to repeat
tradition but to make a transition to fill in
a higher position with books written about my
condition
I was never red, nor green, pink, yellow, blue,
purple, brown, gray, orange, white, gold, or silver,
but I was always black
