Who is Supreme

part two

By MeshiaPublished 6 years ago 2 min read

I feel you looking at me kid

you think I'm the one that took your father away

I feel you looking at me kid

thinking I'm the one who never gave you a future

I feel you looking at me kid

and you see my white skin

and all my privilege

I feel you looking at me kid

thinking my kind is not dying

on the streets every day

I feel you looking at me kid

Knowing I had a role to play

well I do I was trained to be

the best that I could be

I was trained to keep you

safe and unharmed

don't get me wrong some of us

Misuse and take it out of contacts

Our badge and skin is Leverage

To cover for the political s*** that

we do behind the covers

I feel you looking at me kid

you probably think I had a good life

I'm not going to lie I probably did compare to yours

I feel you looking at me kid

Realize that although my skin is white

I haven't been treated fairly either

I feel you looking at me kid

Black's aren't the only ones on the government's system

I feel you looking At me kid

We don't all live in protected neighborhoods

I feel you looking at me kid

You know some of us as white trailer trash

I feel you looking at me kid

I've had abusive fathers and not all the way their mothers

I feel you looking at me kid

I have loved ones behind bars

I feel you're looking at me kid

I can't bring back all the black lives that matter

I feel you looking at me kid

I can't cover for what my ancestors have done

I feel you looking at me kid

history has wronged you

abandoned & misshaped you

I feel you looking at me kid

don't become what they say you are

I feel you looking at me kid

let's rewrite history

I feel you looking at me kid

let's not think of our ancestors

I feel you looking at me kid

let's pave another path

I feel you looking at me kid

stop this war because we're

all living in a Thing Called Life

I feel you looking at me kid

I will not allow you to be another

black life that did not matter

I feel you looking at me kid

become something above me

I feel you looking at me kid

show the world this diversity

I feel you're looking at me kid

For our bloodline been mixed

for a long time

I might not look it

I feel you looking at me kid

I will no longer fight in the front, behind

but beside you

I feel you looking at me kid

if you ask me it's him who is supreme
