Why do we like
To proclaim,
That we are kings and queens
From royalty we came?

White supremacist lies,
That compared to Europeans
Afrikans were never civilized.

Some return in coffins
draped with flags,
Some with limbs missing
Some with minds in tatters and rags.
Disembarking planes

Black folks would often invent
Figures of speech and words

Rapping about nothing
Pretending to be … Read the rest
