this is a noose |
this is a noose
where by is hung the inequity of injustice
and not just
for the 9th ward or Louisiana
but for Palestine for the Sudanese
for monks being murdered in Burma
the Jena 6 is like the Genesis for genocide
as the basis for racist homicide
this rope serves as means to an end
and lets not pretend or lie
that playing hide and go-seek to an 8 year old child
is the same thing as having to seek and go-hide
so this is a noose
where by is hung the representation
of the disintegration of the middle class
what i'm saying is that nothing ever lasts
so when people like us start climbing the ranks
social elites start breaking the banks
saying "keep the poor, poorer
and in warmer climates!
we'll hold down fort in underground bunkers
while above destroy the environment
'cause it wont matter much when only the rich survive!"
Katrina was just a baby, next to what ahead of us lies.
lies.
aint that the truth?
we're no scientists so they say there's not enough proof
to prove that decades of fossil fuels toxicity
has put us is peril relative to income
not just ethnicity.
so this is a noose
whereby dangles the misrepresentation of truth
under which stands the disenfranchised youth
holding pens and American flags and dreams not yet fulfilled
hands overflowing with anxiousness so that they can hardly sit still
force fed medication to subdue creative thought
they're less concerned about your soul
more worried about what you've bought
so from this noose hangs a noose hangs another behind it
so the imagery of lynchings is on the tips of tongues keep silent
because its violent.
because its supposed to be written as history books lessons
but the lessons we're forgetting is history repeats and im guessing
there's to much money involved to for them today to use ropes or chain gangs
so they'll use rims or false profits(prophets) or credit ratings
its tight right now
but its sure to get tighter
shed the night lite now
'cause its only gonna get brighter
this is noose,
where by is hung our past pacification
for the duration of our lives,
lets control the globe,not just this nation
everyone out there
is not just your neighbor or stranger
we're all stranded down here
and the dollar bill is our savior
so forgive me if i quote Malcolm Xavier
"lets submerge our differences and realize it best for us
first to see we have the same problems"
