HERE IS MY POETRY ,,,STOLEN HISTORY !

YOU KILLED OUR KINGS AND RAPE OUR QUEENS
AND SAID WE HAD NO DESIRE TO BE ON TOP
WHILE YOU FLOODED OUR HOUSES WITH CRACK ROCKS !
AND WHEN WE MOVED TO YOUR TOWN
YOU BEAT US DOWN
YOU EXCUSE WAS WE WAS OUT OF BOUNDS
SAID WE DON'T GOT WHAT IT TAKES
WHILE OUR YOUTH TAKES THE WEIGHT
STOLE OUR SCIENCE AND MATHEMATICS
SAID WE COULD BE NOTHING BUT GANG BANGERS AND DRUG ADDICTS
KING HAD A DREAM BUT YOU SHOT IT DOWN
MALCOLM X WAS ON A MISSION TO CHANGE OUR CONDITION
BUT THAT HAD TO STOP
WE GOT THE GUNS FROM YOU THAT KILLED BIGGIE AND TOPAC
AND TO KEEP US FROM BEING FREE
YOU MANIPULATED OUR HISTORY
AND NOW THE CHAINS HAVE FALLEN YOU STILL THINK
THOUGH AIDS OUR POPULATION WILL BECOME EX STINK
A NEW STORY IS BEING TOLD
WE WILL RISE UP AND BE EQUAL WE ARE A RISING PEOPLE
MY SISTER IS NO LONGER A HOOD RAT BUT A QUEEN
AND MY BROTHER IS NO LONGER A CRACK FEN BUT A KING
AND TOGETHER WE WILL COMMAND RESPECT THROUGH
THINK TANKS AND DIALECT
AND VIOLENCE WILL BE NO LONGER
AS OUR LOVE FOR EACH OTHER GETS STRONGER AND STRONGER
AND IF WE HAVE TO USE FORCE TO GET THIS MESSAGE ACROSS
THEN LET IT BE DONE
ITS ALL OR NOTHING ALL FOR ONE
YOU KNOW WHO IM TALKING TO AND WHAT ITS ALL ABOUT
WATCH YOU BACK WE ARE COMING OUT
OUT OF COLLEGES WITH DOCTORS AND LAW DEGREES
HISTORY MAJORS AND PHD
OF THE WALLS AND THE STREETS
ONLY TO DANCE TO A NEW BEAT
THE SOUND OF UNITY IS LOUD
IN OUR COMMUNITY AND
WE ARE THE RULERS AND THE PEACE MAKERS
AND BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY WE WILL BE FREE
AND TAKE BACK OUR STOLEN HISTORY !
