Just Like "Us"


Like cigarettes "We" stunt our own growth,
it might only be a few, but that few can change a lot of views.
Seems like after "We" rise like yeast,
"We" soon forget that our folks also have to eat.
Its strange when I see planes engulfed in flames,  
or schools shot up by educated fools,
how J-Z's come to help their babies,
but  when bombs killed four young "Black Girls" inside a church
where were the Bills to open their pearly Gates.
Some might label what I write as hate, but on the contrary
I just love my race
and I don't want to see "Us" at the end of the race.
Seems that "We" are the only people trapped inside the "rat-race".
Check to check, no respect, children receive neglect, instead of educated intellect,
but can tell you everything you want to know about 40's and tecs
or pounds and keys.
I can hardly remember when rap videos had real "B-G's" (Black Girls),
but
late at night you can catch them representing on the uncut videos popping their pussies.  It's a shame when others exploit "Us",
but its 100times worse when "We" exploit ourselves.
But, that's the plan, why else does drugs, guns, and liquor stores frequent "Our" land
most don't understand;
and those are the ones killing and selling to "Our" fellow "Blackman".
Its hard when you can't trust cops,
but
100times worse when you can't trust
someone that looks Just like "Us".
