Black Men

Black men are becoming endangered species
 Since slavery, we’ve been targeted and slaughtered
 We left Africa as Kings
 endured the sting of lashes from the N word
 survived absurd inhumane treatments
 bodies hung on trees, planted as seeds
 Our blood fertilized the soil,
 Toiled to cultivate this land
 yet denied access to its fruits
 We’ve always been the bad weed
 that gets pruned and killed
 in this US plantation of freedom
 The real notion
 Should be #blackLivesNeverMattered

 My passion and pride for my people
 is but a faint picture of the flame
 That burns in Jesus’ heart
 for humanity to believe in him
 and become his bride.
 Lord knows as a black man
 I’m trying to love my neighbor like myself,
 But it’s hard when they’re doing unto me
 What they don’t want me to do to them!

 We’re backwards and country
 We got a country fighting over
 #hashtag distractions instead of real solutions
 internally flirting with a civil war
 where cops, civilians, and citizens are mourning over loved
 ones wrongfully toe tagged every morning
 Good morning America!!!

 Let’s go back to ABCs of G-O-D
 Put on the fabric of Acts 4
 To model the gospel for
 a hostile society suffocating for hope
 No law will ever legislate, alleviate,
 The people’s pain and persecution
 Trump the nonsense and preside over
 The fact that there’s no government solution
 To being gunned down because your skin is brown!

 I got a bible that summons me to submit primarily
 To my Savior before local authorities
 Like David my hands are trained for war
 Fingers ready for battle
 Since scripture predates the second amendment
 My mandate to bear arms grandfathered the constitution
 I’m down to love my enemies, do good to those who hate me
 bless those who curse me, and pray for those who use me
 Don’t get it twisted, if I have to snatch
 a double edged sword, bow and arrow, slick shot
 and a rock, a staff, a jaw bone, or a gun
 I’m at peace to war for any cause
 The Lord approves.

I’m sure the world wonders
 how in the world the black man
 is still alive after the constant murder of millions
 unlawful incarcerations, and endless assaults
 to exterminate its kind since the 1400s
 Ginlè nèg sa yo se yon bann zonbi!
 On the contrary, we’re simply
 soldiers on the front line
 of an army that can use 300 men
 To defeat a nation
 Problem is we don’t know our identification in Him
 The hood don’t know we’re part of a royal priesthood!

 Our battles are already won
 When we are weak, we’re strong
 As long as we remain mentally enchained
 and illiterate from this knowledge
 we’ll continue to die in body and in spirit
 God's plan has always been
 For the people with melanin skin
 To be part of the multitude of nations
 in the 7th chapter of revelation
 These trigger happy word
 are like fingers poking
 into your chests to rest in
 the wicked parts of mankind's hearts
 So we can be transformed into the kind of men
 with Christ like power, obedience, and justice
 Thus lies the heart and the start of a resolute revolution
