Dear Obama

Nine Ra – Dear Obama

Vulture wings eclipse the sun and cast the shadow of death advancing. / Chivalry's dead, love deficient rats straddle what's left when dancing. / Treading upon residue from blood that's long evaporated. / Betrayal in songs portraying the weak as strong and captivated / youth fascinated with dying while feeling the hate they activated. / Death delivered the same to both who real or sign the affidavit. / Seen a life taken for nothing, creepers stalking knew his wealth. / “I hate you!” was his last words, but was he talking to himself? / Victim of anger, consciously unaware of his own intentions. / Coaxing rest forever, questions unanswered though it's tension / within indentions, crinkled trenches stained my fucking brain black. / Vinyl record broken mind on perpetual play back. / Head spin like DJ, screwed expression with that Houston face. / Patience wears thin like bitches rocking translucent lace. / Wonder why the gun claps more frequent than the thunder, and those who ruin they life don't ever see this as a blunder. / In the midst of the region of poverty, individualistic achievement so hard to be / deemphasized. Reason is probably seen in the eyes of the seeds that have already / grown with this horribly selfish and urgent mentality, wealth is fatality driven. / Connection between us is seen as irrelevant, bullets he now will be given. / R.I.P. through the tissue, indifference to issues / that affect everybody and they probably won't miss you. / but a Tec and a shotty is all that they visual /-lize for they lives helping others what a bitch do. / Instruments of execution don't guarantee a person's compassion. / What is that symbol without any meaningful action? / Without societal transformation, all of your symbols are useless / when the youth is worshipping black genocide in our music. / Mistaken to follow a man of flesh and bone instead of the plans that's left in stone, / that's covered in sand, the Western Olmec people in lands that yes, you own. / Best inform your dome-- knowledge of self and of your people. / In Africa, we had college and wealth now you bowing at master's steeple / begging to be an equal, feeble mind enduring destitution. / You need to be learning now to build enduring institutions

Not for presidents to represent me, / only my life can represent me. / Self love, knowledge, and maturity can really represent me. / What I build for my people truly represents me. / Not for presidents to represent me, / only my life can represent me. / Self love, knowledge, and maturity can really represent me. / What I build for my people truly represents me


Lack of the wisdom working in the system that's running the prison— all them are facts. / KKK, former slavery owners, and massive resistance were all Democrats. / Hard to relax and put trust in a party controlled by investors and bankers they bail out. / All of the tax is a debt to the Fed. Work in the system, they make you a sell out. / Every other race come together in consensus just to pick a leader that will speak for them. / Whoever paraded in front of your face is accepted and blindly preach for Dems. / Was there a group of Africans chose between in an informed decision / or hope for a Messiah and leap when the form had risen? / Damn y'all really ain't think this through. Y'all really ain't think this through. / White people mad at the gun laws but the only one that end up in the clink is you. / In his home town of Chicago, brothers still killing each other for rocking the colors / on the block with no love this kid left under covers, Obama did not prove his worth to they mothers / or parents in churches. But a symbol without any change inherently worthless. / Community stays the same, his lame achievement very superfluous. / Forget the fame, I just keep my eye on permanence. / Whether you live or die, what you build is what determine this. / Schoolyard masculinity concept rules our ass the minute we gone deaf / to the vocal of the men that invented the compass, prosperity not dependent on conquest. / Crabs in a bucket like fleeing a bomb threat, really we should be focused on ending the contest / of the most ruthless and who is the best dressed. That's kid shit, we seeing beyond this. / I'm a grown man, I get on my own plan, I forget a gold chain, I'm buying my own land. / Media owned by six white companies, so I'm picking up a book and I get in my zone, damn. / Stronger man certain, Ivan Van Sertima taught who circumnavigated the Earth and I'm / proud to be Black, Mexican at the same time because we came from the same place, same birth center. / Rappers run with the paychecks, give money away next to the whites to style you. / Better system to increase the volume, didn't buy shit that increase in value. / Asians turn their money over nine times, Black people turn it over less than once. / White people turn their money over eight times before it leaves community blessed with funds. / Wanna get up? Stop thinking of yourself. Wanna get up? Stop thinking of yourself. / Whites trained you to see each other as the enemies, blind to the enemies drinking up your wealth. / Our people are putting each other in danger, but you ain't do nothing to change it. / You sat on your ass, and chose to be ruled over, then put your faith in a stranger
