Who is Supreme

Black, white or a higher power

By MeshiaPublished 6 years ago โ€ข 1 min read

You want to judge me officer

Based off my skin it's OK

I can't hold that against you

for your preconception

it was engraved in you

it was something you

was trained to do

when you see a picture of a black individual

you're meant to

recognize this loudmouth

drug dealers

Hood-rat's on the corner selling that

cookie for the next meal

popping gum like it ain't Nobody Business

hard-headed and stubborn

never going to amount to nothing good

We don't know how to use a brain

constantly thinking how to make fast change

your pretentious it's not your fault

Society has not only programmed you

to view us this way but it is also

programmed us to view our-self this way

we are trapped in our slavery days

light skin vs dark skin

when we are of the same skin

you see it was engraved

to see you as nothing but the devil itself

believing that all you would do is keep us down in life

and that's why we could never amount to nothing

Making the only thing that we will

ever be good at is

Slinging drugs on a corner

Slinging pussy for the next available

man around the corner

the world needs to open their eyes

and realize that we are all slaves to

The higher ups

believing what they believe

because without that this world

would be unbalanced and

something they couldn't control

if all colored and all Nations stood together

we would be unstoppable but

because it was engraved in our brain

that we should hate and despise

bring War upon another

we have nothing else with out the hatred

ask yourself

Who would you Deem Supreme

If you had a mind of your own
