Will you be You
Or will you be Who
They see you to be
Perception’s reality
& The sands of our ancestry
Molded into the looking glass looking back at me
Bet Cooley didn’t think we’d
use his theory to smash
All that his race and class
Built
Led by a dissenter to gender:
A black girl looking under
A white girl undercover
A bi-[racial, sexual] girl starts to wonder
about the images that they sold her
Mirages of getting richer
Making it into the bigger picture
Letting Tyler Perry direct her
In an Obama administered minstrel
Would you listen without instrumentals?
Did you intend to create
A world where big booties get praise,
Dudes who shoot hoops get the aid,
Teens who read books don’t get laid,
Girls who mature fast get raped?
Super man must still be in his cave
Or Gotham’s just too far from LA
Either way
There’s No one but you to blame
No one but me to change
No one but you can change
No one but us can save..
