Who?
Doesn't sit in church and notice the biggest hypocrites?
Those that play the acting game so well.
They are experts very astute in scripture reading.

But action tells more by the things you do.

Who?
Hadn't been to funerals and hear various lies and truth?
I wish this, I wish that but doesn't truly mean any of it.
But go right back to the mean selfish person.

Won't help a neighbor.
Won't even speak.
Then before the ministers act like they are saints.

We all know this type of person.

Who?
Doesn't believe in a better world?
Because we notice the biggest hypocrites very well.

Nothing, without the badge.
One disgraced and removed many officers are lonely souls.

With that badge that is the only respect many get.
Without it, many are lonely depressed, and sad.
So many are nothing without a badge.

They walk in plain clothes with it on their hips like they a character acting tough in a Western movie in some cases.
But if they without it they are simply quiet mouses.

Notice, many ever involved in high-profile cases?
Many dropped off the maps like they joined the FWP.
Federal witness program, just in case you wondering.

To control their abusive ways, if it's legit?
To assign them strictly to the state prison system.
And you find many not trying to attend.

Attitude adjustments come when in this type of joint?

You
Be you
Why changed?

Eventually, they have a choice.
Either adapt or move on.

You
Be you
Why not?
They knew how you were.
Now they seeking you to be what they want you to be?

Maybe in time, you will be.
But for now, be you.

Spoil not, want not.
Can't miss what you never had?
But still, some of you still spoiling them.

Then cry about the ungrateful kid.
The one that either you or the various grandparents created.

We, who grew up a certain way?
Knew the unwritten rule.
Whatever cooked?
Is what you ate?
Or you just starved.

Wasn't no appeasing the child?
We knew the tone in the voice.
And intimidated by the stare.

We weren't that ungrateful child.
We appreciated whatever was giving?

These make some males babies depending on women to support them.
Because most likely it was the mothers trying to impress them.
And some fathers got in on this act too.

We all heard that "sermon"?
Do these name-brand folks pay you to wear their apparel?

And don't let it be Christmas?
Where a baby of a few months got toys more than enough to share with those going without?

An ungrateful child wasn't born that way.
They were created and made by someone else.

If you should leave?
My love will follow you.
If you should leave?
It will like a ghost haunting you.

But accept the truth it's not following you to scare you.
But there just to remind you of me.

If you should stay?
My love still remains.
Just like signs on this earth.
My love is not going away.

Whatever you feel we should do?
I am very open to doing it.
Just know
Just know
If you should leave?
My love will forever be true.

We have had a Duke.
A count and a Queen, King and yes, a Prince.
All musical royalties.

We have had created scientists and doctors although many barely of their race know of them.
Until they venture out on their own to know more.

Say Charles Drew too many within his own race.
And you see a lost face.

We have had a Huff, a Gamble, and a Gordy too.
Record labels owned by ladies too.
There is something wonderful about this brown color hue.

We do go from light to dark.
And witnessed some of the greatest actors to be known.

We have been to space.
When some thought we never reached?
We have been discriminated against for decades and deny even eating seats.
I guess fools forget that money is green.

We have seen a Nation
We have seen the Panthers.
We support protesters too.
Still, question how Black Lives Matter is seen as a hostile group?

Then negative always comes from other owners' news.

Mister Black man, why you scare white people?
Why are white males so afraid?
Especially, when hadn't done a thing?

Obviously, with weapons, they are so brave.
And without they are so afraid.

Mister Black male, sir is it because you walk with confidence?
Or is it because you know their ways?
Obviously, they still holding onto those segregation ways.

And even then, they mainly were weak.
Anything they mainly do to you they have done in a group.
Or used tricks and manipulation to stay ahead.

They move to the far reach of the city.
Hideout in the country and so fearful with they are outnumbered.

Research between the two groups of males black or white?
Which one down through history has created so much trouble.
Please do, Mister Black man.
