The stage is set..........

Just to set the stage..........
 i closed my eyes so I could see the bigger picture
I will an attempt to maintain a factual structure
swooping vultures, be looking at my beautiful culture
and as you look for fault, all you find is my skin color
Now my birthright is documented in Holy Scripture
Yet your hate is justified because my sisters and brothers
and GREAT ancestors birthplace, was in the Land of the Mother
so you see you could not duplicate, so with pain through torture
lies, and deceit, and evil disdain we were ruptured

at this moment, we still lay on our ass
our hardest accomplishment is still getting pass the past
not really sure how long this will last
my reality is that my demise will be a great task
The ignorance of hate seems we will never get pass
for thou art thine neighbor, one of a great vast
and thou King hast commanded that i love the mass
regardless of your thoughts, I care not of your class

Our nation is filled with vipers, and we have lost all hope
it seems our possibilities of freedom is only seen through a scope
I thank Jesus for coming and dying for me, giving up the ghost
He died, that i would be able to cope
Praying that i do not become, that strange fruit on a rope
But that i can stand as a man, leading my folks
Time is not here yet, that i should fear a mans provoke
But, that my people stand as a unit, waving away all ignorance,
and with class, removing from this place, those bitch ass hoes
