Black on Black

Recommended Posts

When I look at your skin tis me I see

Yet I realise we don’t share the same vocabulary

Perhaps that explains why you’re trying to kill me

Black on Black and that’s your reality

As a minority we should learn to love each other

I can’t understand why we hate one another

We spend more time trying to hinder our own progress

Instead of uniting as we deal with the daily stress

We plot and plan our final revenge

Without realising we won’t win in the end

Let’s unite so we can all beat the system

Bridge the gap by helping the poor for instance

Look what we did, created a whole industry

‘Hip hop for life’ and I know you’re all feeling me!

 

Imagine if we all united and left Babylon

To a place called Africa where it all begun

Where we’d wake up and actually notice the sunrise

The freshness of the air is your daily prize

Great minds enraptured as one to create unity

Using our God given gifts to provide for the community

But that’s just a dream; it would never work

Dreaming is free, plus it doesn’t hurt

 

This Black on Black mentality doesn’t just exist on the block

Even in the office as we compete to reach the top

Gunning each other down with our verbal onslaught

Ignoring our conscious and the many lessons taught

Inferiority complex is one the traits

Identity crisis is yet another mistake

You see me and somehow we’re not equal

Our skin colour tells me we’re one people

Do you think they see the difference between us?

Do you think they care whether it’s us killing us?

 

Breaks my heart as I watch the news

Makes me feel like we will always lose

In my heart I know we’re bigger than this

I truly believe we can all co-exist

Look what we did Hip-hop went global

Soared to new heights over a billion dollars in total

Prime example we can do this together

I’m proud of you all – Hip-hop forever!

 

Above all else, let’s seek mutual respect

This is all I ask, this is what I expect

You don’t have to greet each other every time you meet

Just acknowledge one another when you’re walking down the street

Irrespective of your status quo, our roots bond us as one

Through time zones when the world begun

I believe love will carry us through the bad weather

One love my people, let’s do this together.

Disturping homeland civil war*

Blacks on blacks?

Eatch other, is it to settle some score?

Lost it all, so I got na'in 2lose

But life, and thats bound to go for sure*

Buck twice, and am bound to flow for more_

Health'wealth'...

All the above but nice_

Shifting bones from my closet to my shelf_

All in all am fighting for my rights_

At the end it'll be between:

The Greate & Myself_

And self hate is all I felt*

When I had a imaginative dream, that made my

brain cells to melt*

The thought of dispite_

How tough that would make me fight_

Doing wrong feeing right_

Giving my vision to illusion*

Sky scrapers to impress the oldies_

Blade brackers to mess the youngies_

Ama say it again-

We the mission, part of the plantation*

So I eye my eye on my nation*

Fully beleiving my religion*

Human respecting_

Dum'men! am rejecting_

So, to some its hard for them to consider~

Faith has the power to vanish hate*

If u beg to differe do debate_

Jus' kno' I may not relate_

Hoppin' we visualize str8 eye2eye

Black on black is part of neutral dispite

no lie

I say judge the mental

dont be judgemental

I just care less

When it comes to chillin' with stress

I confess my time is near an I feel that
