DEFENDER'S RAP

• The juggernaut of antiblack violence
• Is the dream of political refinement
• The only progress blacks make
• Within a cognitive space of confinement
• Deep in the heart of our society
• Lies anti black fantasies incomprehensibly violent
• That exceed all oceans of material violence
•  
• A possession constituted by dispossession
• Defining the principles of oppression
• white hierarchies gonna teach social activists a lesson
•  
• keep your masks on,
• keep your mouth closed
• keep fighting for pennies
• leave a social structure unopposed
• and everything beneath the surface
• stays undisclosed
• racial stereotypes continue to impose
•  
• Little black Sambo don’t teach him the word warrior
• Maybe one day hell grow up to be a lawyer
• Unlikely in an education system
• Keeping the poor poorer
•  
• A system where standing isn’t even a goal
• A system where tears of horror
• Are only met with self control
•  
• progress is nothing but an 8 letter word
• its meaning over time significantly blurred
• government pretending it hasn’t even heard
• black people pretending its actually occurred.
•  
• Nonetheless,
• Kick him in the stomach
• Cant he take a joke
• Escape oppression?
• Youd better perfect your backstroke
• Black identity covered by a white cloak
• Smothered so fast
• it didn’t have time to choke
• The soil of the American flower
• Is the social death of black folk.
•  
• And in a world where white privilege is defined by contrast
• Freedom for blacks is lost in tribal past
• Post middle passage its nothing but captivity
• Faint dreams of biracial symmetry
• Lost out the bounds of comprehensibility
• Modern Reformsism centered round perfectability
• All that’s left now is utter negativity
