ADINKRAHENE

Jesus Christ Was A Black Man

5: Dark am I, yet lovely,
    daughters of Jerusalem,
dark like the tents of Kedar,
    like the tent curtains of Solomon.

6: Do not stare at me because I am dark,
    because I am darkened by the sun.
My mother’s sons were angry with me
    and made me take care of the vineyards;
    my own vineyard I had to neglect.

Song Of Songs 1:5-6

I Wanna See The World

i give unto u, my prayer

pathos 'n ethos

Romans 12:2-3

que sera sera 
 
if it’s gonna be it’s gonna be that
in the duffel so you prolly can’t see that
grandfathers still smiling ear to ear
i used to follow in the steps but I knew i’d never be that
hollow to the heights that’s called making it out
worked the ink out the pen that’s called making it shout
you filling every space that was vacant for clout


i ain’t seen the city view red is the city hue
bled just to sit in you bled so you see it through
bled so you tear full pages clay sing about me
i really miss kendrick on sing about me
it brings about me a lil drip tired of lil trips
i wanna see the whole world i’m tired of lil grips
i wanna be in it i’m tired of lil dips
i’m trinna be the knight tired of lil pips

but it’s gonna be what it’s gonna be
but you gonna see what you gonna see
only get to see what’s in front of me
pages yellow that’s the sun in me
kidding that’s the son in me laughing for the fun and me
i only ever wanted 3 tries like the gospels
i only ever wanted them to dig it like a fossil

the sun don’t shine as the creek don’t rise
ain’t a lot that they can tell me when they teach those lies
i don’t care how I explode killing beats on lives
you killing lives on beats and lives on streets
backflip you killing streets off lives 
meanwhile selling futures in the lotto
when they really don’t need overstuffing is the motto
need a smaller stomach not a bigger plate 

but what will be will be

imma never sit back that’s a facta est lux
i don’t the best life matter fact the best luck
but i make do off paper like a kingpin
crazy how the black peasants got the king pinned
crazy how the oligarchy made the king sin
crazy how one man can flip a team win
crazy how I put the city on my back tho
crazy how I got challenged to kill a track tho

they gave me a prompt and I pivoted
wake up in the morning unprompted and I’m killin it
i sample Donny for my father and his family line
i spit a speech for the tribe cause their family mine
world-induced trauma and my mama 
wanna hope for a change we can believe in like Obama

i tried to put my flaws on the b-side
it made me put myself on the a track

Que Sera Sera (for My Faddah)

wagadu (pts 1 & 2)
