Little poem I wrote about the perspective of blackness. Inspired by Random Acts of Flyness and Lovecraft Country. 

Sampling 'Funny Valentine' performed by Ben Webster

Lyrics:

Why does blackness have a narrow path?

The ones who seem to have targeted wrath
The ones who are denied cleansing
Yet create culture that purifies the soul
A narrow view of what I could be 
has kept me in a box like Quentin 
Driving narratives that spin in my head like whirlpools
Tornados
Fueling a destructive path

Why does blackness have a narrow path?

Taking culture out of context
Wringing out the warmth of community and nuance like it was a dirty rag
In the end hanging it up to dry for all to see

Why does blackness have a narrow path?

Peering eyes watch judgingly as I dance with my freedom
Making friends with my demons
As I share stories of yesterday
Ones who came before me evolved to create strength in my blood
And gentleness in my eyes

Why does blackness have a narrow path?

Holding my hands up in the sky
Waiving my white flag up so high
While I scream I just want to be able to get by

Why does blackness have a narrow path?

Inspired by struggle
Flourishing through pain
Making a dollar out of a dime
While humming somberly I just can’t stand the rain

Why does blackness have a narrow path?

Narrow Path

Lyrics:

Cardboard wrapped in sulofane
Shiny Charizard in the rain
Anytime that phone would ring

Hope you never call again
Cause you call me out my name
Used to be a love but I'll never fall again

Thought we could be friends
Repulsed by holding hands
Deeper pockets for your deposits
Cut my loose ends
Only way my phone will ring
Learned to by my own diamond things
Diamond rings
Show myself all the finer things

Hit the road anytime you swerve
Since I bumped a curve
Portraits painted fine lines
In the meantime, I'll be getting mines
Breaking dimes
Writing my own rhymes
Just to bide the time

Grinning grinding at receivers
As I hit decline
Ring of fire round my heart
Since I walked that fine line
Ever since we've been apart
I've been doing fine
No one can replace you boy

You know you be lyin

Made my heart go limp
Fancams to OnlyFanners
Strolled in like a pimp
With bad table manners
We look good
We cook good
And we got the smoke

Lit this blunt life with this shit
Since you double barrel choked
One man militia
Since you want the smoke

Don't catch me G riding with my folks
Headed hell bound
Down PCH
Gotta get out of town
Not much more a this that I can take now

Grabbed all my money
Now I got no skills
Damn near resorted
To popping pills
Couldn't even pay my fucking bills

Took a knee like Teebow
I'm not a fake
It's just my ego

Syndromes had me fooled
I'm landing on my free throw
Looking cool

Origin story
Uh, this a negro
Now I'm getting money
And I'm stacking zero
This is just some battles that I've won
Till next time
Free my people and your mind

Stay on your grind
You'll be just fine

Just stop watching mines
Uh

Don't let anyone ever believe you're not worth it
You can do anything you set your mind to
Just try to birth it

Fuck those that don't believe in you
Fuck those that don't support you
Fuck them if they don't ride
Fuck those that watch you from the sidelines
Then try to slide

Ain't no handouts
This ain't Pimp My Ride
Get hit with no reply

Uh, call denied
He's a piece of humble pie
Uh

Kill your ego
Kill your ego
Kill your ego
not not not my people

Kill your ego
Kill your ego
Kill your ego
not not not my people

Kill your ego
Kill your ego
Kill your ego
not not not my people

Kill your ego
Kill your ego
Kill your ego
Kill your ego
Kill your ego
Kill your ego

All I Do Is Think Of You...
