Forget History

These kids out here don’t know their history

Forget about those who struggled for their freedom

Rapping about things and they don’t know the reason

Talking about you don’t care about history

Do you remember the time when our people wore potato sacks?

Now you feel unworthy if your belt and shoes don’t match?

Could they be standing there if  the Harriet Tubmans hadn’t paved the way?

Risking life and limbs to free our people

Just 50 years ago we were not created equal

I listen to this idiocy about not caring about history

I scratch my head and wonder at the mystery of

Forgetting the past and the reason they can rap in that microphone and diss history’s ass

Scratching my head.

These kids out here say they don’t want to read

In between the lines is where we read  to find the conspiracy worked

Of how they kept black people subservient for decades and for centuries

How can you say the man has kept us down when you haven’t read how he did?

That attitude of complacency and ignorance well I can tell you that’s about it!

Not knowing and growing and thinking for ourselves. 

Puppets on a string pulled by the master. 

Knowledge was and is the power when we learned tradition changed during the hours

When one black man learned better and he taught another better too.

Before you say you don’t care about history

Think about what you saying are you talking nonsense or are you using your brain?

And moving forward to making the struggles  and the dreams of  Martin Luther King worth it

The Real Deal On Haters

No matter what you do, how good you are, how you help people or even  if you just stay to yourself it is a pretty good chance there is someone out there talking about you and trying to put you in a bad light.  People may wonder why and what is the purpose of this.  To me it's simple haters fit their name in their actions and personality.  Why would anyone who felt so great about themselves and their lives waste time and effort to make you feel bad?  Why would a person who is secure in themselves and their place in the world call you ignorant names, derogatory words and make a big deal out of some small mistake?  Is mispronouncing a word so bad that it causes your ears to bleed?  Is believing a certain way that you don't a cause for outrage and disrespectful behavior?  What is the real point of sending hate messages like your a fat pig you disgust me make you feel better about yourself?

 Well if it does you must be pretty darn miserable to get joy from the tearing down of others self-esteem and self worth.  I have too much going on in my life to stop doing what i am doing and spend time spewing hate or malice toward other people.  If someone does something I don't agree with I shrug my shoulders and keep it moving.  I feel to good about myself and myself worth to waste time trying to cut someone down.  If you find a person that constantly does that its a sign that everything isn't as great as they are making it out to be.  Have sympathy for them and pray for them because they need something in their lives to make them feel complete.
