Born in Mississippi
Afrika Europe mated
Pharaoh Jim Crow decided division regulated
Passin Moses down river
Life savin
Butterscotch baby. passed vanilla.
Until wool of lamb knit sweater
Hot Hot summer days kissed flesh wit caramel sweetness
Passin Moses down river
Cumin ashore 2 Los Angeles
Changes names in courtroom
Hopin 2 forget
Tha brotha that had his black back
Tha children who attacked midnite mysteries beauty
Tha white moma who held her baby 2 her womb only 2 have Bank of America
Cum chargin wit accounts of racizm, lynchin, burnin, murderin!
Tha Dad who he can only wonder bout.
Passin Moses down river
Passin basketball wit brothaz 2 take shots 2-git game
Rejected tha Golden Chyle
N played wit him cuz he ran streetz witout fear
He ran… so his mind… a tyme capsule could jus b still.
Pushed down, pulled up, sent away, welcomed, rejected.
Torn worn pants lookin fo da needle, thread, hands.
Seventeen not on no magazine
Emotions blinded pre-frontal cortex thinkin
Pulls trigger blastin pain
Passin Moses down river
Black Panther on U.S.A most wanted list
Mentored by George Jackson
Martial arts, laws, sports, universal struggles, victories
history, herstory, ourstory
studied intensely. Not acceptin lies.
Questions 2 cum betta undastandin givin birth 2 effective truth
Challenged prison administrations
Advocated 4 prisoners unity 2 combat oppression
His heritage, His experience r credentials 2 learn 2 teach
Chained innocence in San Quentin 6 case…released
Passin Moses down river cums ashore a Revolutionary!
