Rap went commercial
when will it return to program?
nomads become cliche within themselves
as more become product on the shelves
I lay between urban decay and suburbia
society giving my mind a hernia
troubled youth shackled by George W
so I smuggle truth into entertainment
the battle for my allegiance
began when my bloodline was pillaged by Spaniards, who’s my savior?
eyed by enemies a genetic failure
inches from inquisition
commissioned to seek retribution for the movement
until Ras’ tooth pick is saluted
diluted brainwaves become seismic
enriched with stolen jewels of Osiris
snatched off the belt of Orion
I emerged on the horizon
resting on the dark side of the sun
came with 4 Horsemen disguised as Nimrods portrait
birthed dormant in the earth’s uterus
moving through universes with verses to versus
the version of the person I am and will be
photograph my shadow, I’m still me
kill me by electric chair on a Friday
mourn me on a Saturday
bury me under moonlight on a Sunday
all because 6/18/79 was a Black Monday
