This is how the world would have it
I grew up timid,
The cruel elaborate trick conjured by the weak to inspire fear
That’s what happens when you’re born with this pigment
Grew more confident and got lost within myself…
Might have gotten lost in the sauce
This is coming from the source, I’m just a scared little boy
Born in a concentration camp
That’s all kasi is
Calling it Bantu housing was just a rebrand… it’s all semantics
Systemic oppression has always been two steps ahead
What are they really afraid of?
Do they know something we don’t?
Are we at war with each other or at war with ourselves…
Maybe projecting it?
Confined for exploitation and punishment
Imprisonment isn’t so literal after all; maybe a few more steps ahead then we thought?
Mind bending manipulation - generational, it’s become a norm
Unchain me from these mind forged manacles!
So thorough we’re passing it down,
their glory is at our expense
All this effort to keep a black man down?
They taught us everything we know
The first step to liberation is learning to unlearn
What’s really due?
Is there a set fee?
Knicks from the pale control our reality
I demand a reset.
