6th Poem -- Gotta get it off my chest my little toasty English muffin shawty darling

Gotta get it off my chest
11-01-06 Chad Harris Xzavier
Natural born servants because we were not considered human
While we are using and abusing drugs seen as good for nothing but screwing
Have dynamite in our brains just gotta light the fuse
Have been misused, now we subdue, as if there were nothing else to do
Our ancestors would have loved for a chance to fight back
But we don’t do that, we just lie flat, make illegal stacks off of selling crack

They give us opportunities and they know we won’t take it
Give us our own scholarship funds, the grades however they know we won’t make it
Affirmative action requires employers to hire a percentage of African Americans
“I’m so sorry, you are better qualified but I need to hire a Black man”
We are treated as if we cannot get anything on our own
Seems to me like they think we are still property that they own

We need to redefine the sign of blackness to that it represents empowerment
We are indeed human, can do great things for the race because we are heaven sent
Blacks and Whites are not so different, disagree and I have something for you
While we shoot for gang boundaries and soil, they bomb for countries and foreign oil
Don’t get it twisted; they enslaved us because they feared us
Man fears what he does not understand so they kept us handcuffed

We have the mental capacity to create the unimaginable
Yet society brainwashes our kids to only care about what is currently fashionable
Plan your futures out and set realistic goals to be completed
Your brain is a pet that will protect you for life; just needs knowledge so indeed feed it
As long as they hand out freebies and give advantages, you best to take it
If we can only learn to work together in this world, 1 day we best to remake it
SHOUT OUTS TO THAT DUDE NAMED DEEZY!!!

5th Poem -- In a Decade (Where I wanna be in 2016)

In a Decade
10-17-06 Chad Harris Xzavier
Making mils and celebrating with my peers
Is where I see myself in a good ten years
I want to live the good life and everything that comes with it
Give my offspring real big shoes to try to fill in
Get my money and live without a care
Poverty and starvation will no longer be a scare

As a kid I always wanted to have heavy cream
Now I can put realization into that once distant dream
Won’t blow all my money because that’s both dumb and sad
I want to be able to reimburse the publicity chick, my mum and my dad
Buy a couple of cars, maybe even a house or 2
Can not forget about the fashion so I’ll cop about 100pairs of shoes

Gotta be smart with my money so I’ll probably invest
So if a deal doesn’t go as planned, I won’t have to stress
I’ll take care of the friends who were there from the start
I can’t allow pieces of paper to cause us to drift apart
I must think about my future so I’ll settle down and get a wife
Have 10 kids and embark on the journey of family life

By the time my wife is in gestation
My unborn seed will have a paid college education
I won’t be here forever so it is my job to set them up
Teach them the foundations to live their lives and to try their luck
Having money is never mandatory but it will provide some really fun days
This is where I see my life and myself in a good decade!
