"'My hair gets curly when it's Wet'" Mon Apr-30-07 03:12 AM by empro
Brothers and sisters in the states by way of the Mother Land Our generation is losing "The Good Fight" Perhaps because there was an absence of daddy or a mothers caressing hand Time moves inside an hourglass and our lives are the sand Broke down and beaten Treating the habit of the urge I call "Gots To Have It" Dreams you did have became after thoughts Our rhythm, our story, our being has been stolen Now it's store bought The design of the finish line was built for me and you not to cross I know you'd rather not listen and just say "Fuck it" and floss But how long can you take the scraps they continue to toss? And if you ask who THEY are, I'm not tellin.... Shit I could say anything and make you believe it just like the bullshit THEY stay sellin I stand diligent On the boarder of becoming a black militant Already guns were sent in an attempt to shoot me Unjust and unruly, it’s my duty to show our inner beauty through words Hate on one another occurs so often it hits in blurs followed by obscene gestures and hateful slurs Both his and hers have been taken for suckers Made to think the only thing BLACK is useful for is a white pages ink. Down hated, degraded, I know a lot have been frustrated to think the only way to feel liberated is by being 'Curly' 'Straight' or 'Activated' No to nappy since it represents the common life, and we all know that ain't happy Yes to straight since it takes away from my face and diffuses some hate Starting over on a clean slate is something we can all shake This life isn't about how many breaths you make But how many you take So I'll continue to leave viewers breathless with each post I submit And on some real shit... My waves represent water from the Middle Passage our ancestors came on as slaves This crisp line is the bay's shore which was plagued with being the fortunate or unfortunates graves for millions There's no reason to justify why you're fly.... Don't let your hair be an extension of what makes or breaks you
Your Lips Your Nose Your Cheeks Your Butt Your Hips
You.
That's what they want So give it to 'em The real raw fabric of us.
Ah why thank u MJ. That's been a topic I've heard so much growing up so I finally wrote about it. I'm sure a lot of cats can relate to the 'good hair' 'bad hair' debates lol
A guitar string vibrating, a measure of my soul, a breech in the silence -- I've always felt like words come through me & I write them down... they have no master --- gsquared ♥
