Black Chicken
• Written by LeslieReed
Black feathers, black leather, black power in my presence
Lessons learned from ancestors, blessings earned through my essence
Message clear to all who hear, fear the bird with the vision
Mission statement written in blood, flood the game with precision
Black chicken in the area, hysteria when I appear
Clear the path, feel my wrath, math don't add up to their fear
Tear through obstacles daily, mainly focused on my calling
Falling never been an option, stopping ain't within my nature
Greater than your expectations, patience wearing thin with hatred
Faded hopes of keeping down, crown heavy on my head piece
Peace was never an option, popping off like I'm a pistol
Bristol smooth with how I move, prove that black don't crack under pressure
Measure twice and cut once, stunts I pull defy physics
Physics can't explain my reign, pain transformed to pure power
Hour of reckoning approaching, coaching other birds to fly
High above the ceiling, feeling like I'm touching heaven
Seven deadly sins committed, admitted but I'm still blessed
Stressed about my legacy, recipe for revolution brewing
Chewing through these chains of bondage, homage paid to those before me
Story told through chicken scratch, match my energy if able
Black chicken in the area, malaria spreading through the system
Wisdom flowing from my beak, speak the language of the people
Steeple where I preach my sermon, vermin can't survive my presence
Essence of my being threatening, betting on my own destruction
Construction of my empire, fire burning in my belly
Jelly of my success, stress levels through the henhouse ceiling
Feeling like I'm Neo, Theo-ry of evolution proven
Moving through the matrix, basis for my transformation
Station me among the greats, rates increasing by the second
Beckoned by my destiny, recipe for domination
Nation under surveillance, balance between peace and chaos
Flawless in my execution, resolution crystal clear
Fear the black bird flying, trying to clip my wings for decades
Charades over, soldier marching to my own percussion
Discussion 'bout my methods, methods tested under fire
Higher than the mountain tops, stops along my journey upward
Black chicken in the area, bacteria infecting minds
Finds a way to penetrate, educate the masses properly
Property of no one, someone special in the making
Shaking up foundations, patience running thin with bullshit
Bullied as a baby chick, sick of all the discrimination
Fascination with my downfall, call it entertainment value
Thank you for the motivation, station tuned to my frequency
See me on the big screen, dream deferred but not forgotten
Rotten to the core they say, way I see it I'm just seasoned
Reasoned with the universe, verse after verse I spit that fire
Tire of the same old story, glory days are right in front me
Bluntly speaking truth to power, shower me with recognition
Black chicken in the area, cafeteria can't contain me
Mainly motivated by the need to feed my people knowledge
College educated but the streets provided real lessons
Blessings counted every day, pray my children see me soar
More than just a bird, word to everything I represent
Sent by higher powers, hours spent perfecting my craft
Staff of supporters growing, flowing like the mighty river
Liver full of poison, boys annoyed by my ascension
Tension in the atmosphere, clear that change is coming quickly
Sickly sweet revenge, friends become my greatest enemies
Remedies for racism, prism refracting all my colors
Brothers from another mother, cover me when bullets flying
Dying ain't an option, popping bottles when I celebrate
Weight upon my shoulders, older but I'm getting wiser
Miser with my energy, synergy with my creator
Later for the haters, traitors exposed by my success
