Murder to Excellence (Parts I&II)

Bloody Murder

they always told me i have an old soul
they always said
real men arent born
they're bred

sadly
the idea of the conventionally virtuous black man
is dead
bloody murder

replaced
with empty space
between each earlobe
the base of the neck
and the forehead
black decedance
stuck in a demographic
that praises and epitomises
the least of important things
in the grand scheme of things

sadly
the idea of the conventionally virtuous black man
is dead
bloody murder

murdered by a plethora of things
least the ones that most fear
the potential we hold
the size of our brains
black decadence

in my demographic reigns supreme
and the people dont see their treachery
ignorance
beside itself in its lechery
especially
the apparent ideals of the young women
untrained in the ways of ladiness
for the most part
unschooled in the value of thier treasury
so they give away freely
to any man willing to spend a small portion of his time
black decedence

eventually creationg a void of knowlegde
spawning free roaming negativity
an airborn cancer
striving to enslave the piety we were given
creating the balance of murder
of which we are all guilty of commiting

because we allow it
black decedance'
bloody murder
bloody murder

black excellence

they always told me i have an old soul
they always said real women arent born
they were bred

excellence
oppulence
reverence

the idea of them skeezers, jawns, and birds
is dead
cuz im killing it
out of excuses
more and more black women are college educated
raised within decent family structures
with the drive and ambition to achieve dreams
unlimited potential
from their finger nails to their foreheads
black excellence

the continuous circle of excuses by men and women
not to excel
not to do well
to be satisfied with the conventional status
we see our sisters and brothers attain
untamed
but constrained
continuously
by the media who displays fantastically mundane
excistences of real people
but our ignorance
tells us its fantastic
something to esteem

meanwhile these women have the lowest self esteem
i have ever seen
empowerment
should come from the community
a congregation of men and women who instill values in the young ones
coming up
not vh1
saying basketball wives and house wives are comming up

i want
black excellence

not the paradoxical nature of this so called entertainment
that teaches drama
turning mama into a bad role model
cuz she sits there with her young daughter and watches it
baby girl process it
grows up thinking these are what real women are
and us men are all ready and willing to take advantage
instead of expecting more
fuck average

black excellence

i need them old times back
when if you didnt have on a suit and tie
you werent even given the chance to call on some mans daughter
times have changed ill give you that
but we can adapt

black excellence
oppulence
reverence

we have barack and michelle steppin up to set the example
but we are too ignornat and misguided to appreciate it
we'd rather be bey and jaw
wiz and amber
im tired of it

challenge yourself

to black excellence
oppulence
reverence

didnt say it would be easy
but for lack of a better way to word this
itll be worth it

black excellence
community service
black excellence
education
black excellence
higher expectance
black excellence
oppulence
reverence
