He who Looks like Me!   4/6/05

From the bricks to the sticks I've stacked chips
From Trinidad to Tobago I've sold keys of snow
   to help my financial dough grow

But law's hate to see our communities elevate,
   so they devise theories to keep our future generations
   living the life of misery;

So to stop the plot we've committed to teach our young
   the truth about lincoln and why he was assassinated by booth

It's time to reprogram our young,
shut down their brains and reboot

Expose them to the real,
so their foundation will be strong like
   Bobby Seal

Teach them about Malcolm Little,
so they can learn why Black Churches
   got torched down to the grown

Give them the proper tools,
instead of sending them off to school just to
   graduate,
return home and be considered an educated fool

From the city block to the country road, folks must learn to trust
   He Who Looks Like Me!
