One Weekend (2018)
“There’s a lot of money in that white powder,”
It’s amazing how the drug game made kings out of cowards,
That lust for the money led to far too many bullet showers,
Young Black kids devoured,
Mother’s dressed in Black receiving flowers,
Countdown to Armageddon is in a couple of hours
You idolized those that gained fame and acclaim
From the crack game,
Formed many a gang,
Made it cool to slang,
Dropout and open up a dope house,
Develop your whip game,
Ensuring your race is choked out,
Smoked out,
You may as well have the Klan bring the ropes out,
This is what being “woke” is about,
But you’re too concerned with not being
Broke in a drought,
Fast money rarely lasts homie,
Prison is lonely,
Death proves your brief existence was phony…
“There’s a lot of money in that white powder,”
It’s amazing how the drug game made kings out of cowards,
That lust for the money led to far too many bullet showers,
Young Black kids devoured,
Mother’s dressed in Black receiving flowers,
Countdown to Armageddon is in a couple of hours
What do you believe in?
Apparently, robbing, killing, and deceiving,
As it is yet another season
Of mothers and fathers grieving,
Oh yeah, you’re cool,
Cooler than a body freezing to death,
A generation of do-nothings being fed poison
By the chefs,
Went from cooking up crack to crystal meth,
You wanted to be like Scarface,
Until the end of the flick,
Eleven more killed the other day,
That’s just hood politics,
Trying to get rich quick,
Or die young,
And just miss being a convict,
You claim you had no choice,
I say you copped out and chose Satan’s voice,
The wicked system of racism
Put you in quite a predicament,
It being the reason for many of our ills is legitimate,
A cesspool,
Where poverty, violence, and broken schools
Are tools to the trade,
American made,
But wait,
When does one take responsibility
For their wayward ways?
I mean, I realize equality is still a long way away,
And remnants of being slaves
Is still a heavy price to pay,
But how many more young men
Have to be shot in the face?
Bodies piling up like hamburgers,
Survival of the fittest
Has our youth committing mass murders,
The nerve of…
You bitching about Zimmerman and those killer cops!
Because I’ve seen ya’ll catch more bodies in one weekend!
One Weekend!
Than Greg Gunn, Tamir Rice, Akai Gurley, Paul O’Neal,
Eric Garner, Freddie Gray, Walter Scott,
Sandra Bland, Akiel Denkins, Alton Sterling,
Michael Brown, and Trayvon Martin….
