The Margin

I live outside of the margins
Between bus stops
Loitering on public property
Nevering living up to
My expectations since I'm always
Harder on ourselves than public
Perception
Always trying to get a leg up,
but the systems switches gears swiftly
like negros turn code from business legalities
to hood like tendencies in an instant
I'm loud and obnoxious
At all times to you
But I hear rhythms
We are call and response
The drum
A tool used To get the movement started
In no particular order,
Long as you grooving.
-We be mixing voices in harmony with out effort
Cause the soul knows
The heart keeps the down beat in 4/4 rhythm
2 stepping since forever ago
Trying to get over the hump
In the spirit of umoja
Cause Jim Crow and apartheid ain't to far removed from each other in culture
connecting our hip bone digging into the earth near cape town
while siminteously twerking in the dirty south
for we always remember the blood line and most time we forgive,
so never shalt thee forget
for that kind of talk be blasphemy
My black isn't new,
it's everlasting
we have to be
We must be strong
try and stay civil
though the devil is busy
and We humans are imperfect
Over then under react or vice versa
Trying to do inspite of spite
For evil lives
So shine the light into the darkness
The struggle continues
And if you listen closely
The souls of black folk are still under attack
agenda disguised as diversity
We can be pro everything else but soon
As we congregate in unity we are loitering
inciting a problem
Well let's solve for x
should we cast buckets where we at
or wait for the talented tenth to have our back
It was written somewhere like that
There is no wall
between us black
In fact we share the same mirror
hold it to your face
and you’ll find an image of freedom
now the stars are yours
all you have to do is reach for em
