So What Cause Is It ... ?    
That They ... REALLY Stand For ... ?

Families FILLED With SEPARATIST Wills ...    
Talking of ... " WILLS " ... !!!    
    
What's Left For Them ... ???    
Monetary Problems ... ???    
  
Or A Cause Instilled To Change Their Ilk ...    
From ... LUSTING For Bills ...    
    
Yen Or ... Pounds ... ?!?    
How Does That Sound ... ?

Does Your Cause Stem ... ?    
From A Wish To END ...    
    
... " ELITE IGNORANCE " ... !?!?!  
    
The Type That Defends ...    
White Men Who ... PRETEND ...    
To Give A **** About Black Man ...    
    
When The Truth Is ... THIS ... !!!

To Say What They Like About Things In Sight ...    
    
As If Black Minds Are Completely Blind ... !?!    
To The Cause of Things When Pressure Liks' ... !!!!!!!!    
    
Like It Is ... NOW ... !!!!!    
  
Now That Things Are FOUL ...    
They're CRYING OUT For ... " THINGS TO CHANGE ! " ...    
  
Well Okay That's GREAT ... !!!!!    
  
But ... " Back in the day " ...    
When ... " Momma Had Slaves ! "    
    
... ALL OVER THE PLACE ... !!!!!  
    
Were They CRYING Back Then ... ???    
For Slaves .... BETTERMENT .... !?!    
    
And Educating Them About ... " RACISM " ... ?!?  
    
And EXPOSING THE TRUTH ...  
About ... " Daddy's Boardroom " ... ?!?  
    
I'm A Bit Confused As To The Cause ...    
They Seemed To Ignore That They Now IMPLORE ...    
As If It's NEW ... And Should Be USED ... !!!!!!!!!!!!!    
    
I Hear REVOLUTION Coming From White Lips ...    
Oh So THAT'S A SOLUTION Well I've Got To Ask ... THIS ... !?!    
    
When The Ku Klux **** Were HANGING Black Man ... !!!    
Were They And Their Fam' ... Taking THAT STAND ... !!!?!!!

And DON'T Deal In Quotes ...    
That Hold ... NO WEIGHT ... !!!!!    
    
Which Is Why They're AFRAID ...    
of The Things I RELATE In My Wordplay  ... !!!    
    
I'm SICK of Them HEARING But NOT LISTENING ... !!!    
Because They're Adhering To ... "LIMITED Thinking" ...    
    
LIMITED By .....  
Historical Ties They'd Rather ... DENY ... !!!    
    
As Being The Cause For Veteran Wars ...    
And Humanity's FALL ... It's NEVER Their Fault ... !!!  
    
It Was Actually ... " The FORCE " ... !?!    
    
"Oh it was down to Star Wars !    
wait a minute now, pause !" ...    
    
Man I've Got To Laugh Otherwise I'll FROWN ... !!!    
And Decide To TAKE DOWN ...  
  
Them And Their Crowd of ..... " KNOW IT ALLS " ..... !!!!!  
    
Who CHOOSE TO HEAR What Suits Their Ears ... !!!!

NO ACKNOWLEDGEMENT That ...    
They Bought Into ... FALLACY FILLED Views ...    
They've Read In Books Or Been Fed By The News ...    
    
It's CLEAR TO ME We Blacks Should Speak ... !!!    
But ... NOT ABOUT THEM ... !!!!  
Or The Cause They DEFEND ... ?!?    
    
When They Help The Poor ...    
By Doing Stuff That's A SHORT TERM Fix ... !!!      
So Their GUILT Can DESIST ... !!!    
    
Well Me And My ... " CHIP " ...

That Prove My Cause Is ... NOT About ME ... !!!  
But EQUALITY ... For EVERYBODY ... !!!!!!!  
  
Even If I'm Seen As The ... " Villain of The Piece " ... !!!!  
    
Because It's CLEAR ... !!!  
    
I Really Do ... STAND TALL ... !!!    
And DON'T MAKE ... DUD Calls ... !!!    
    
Like Those Whose Actions ... BETRAY Thoughts ...    
That Seem DISTRACTED ... From This Question Fa' SURE ... !!!!    
    
" What Cause is it that they, REALLY Stand For ... ?!? "
