Someday has come

Hello
My name is Saalik.
I have a few things that I would like to say.
I am not a Nigger nor a Negro
Nor a color from the box.
I am a man.
I am a man that wants respect.
I am a man that gives respect at all times
This day I want to tell you
That no more will I except
Your disrespect, your intolerance and your injustice
From now on you will call me by my name.
I will not be called a boy.
I will not be called a nigger.
Everyone thinks that I’m a boy.
Everyone thinks that they know me.

I tell you here now that only God knows me
Why must you disrespect my family
Why must you disrespect my sista’s
It’s true that I myself haven’t paid attention
To what’s beenreally going on in the world.
But now, some monster has awoken me
To see the real life light.

Life – Light huh!
Well let me tell you something
Just because I don’t speak ebonics
Doesn’t mean I’m not black.
Just because I like the whole rainbow of women.
Doesn’t mean I’m not black!

What is it about all this shit and racism
That people have in their bodies.

It’s a demon!

Whoa I don’t get it. Whatever man.

When you hold your head up high
Why do people think you look down to them.

You’re not looking down it just seems that way.
It’s like the Matrix man. It’s cool and I don’t know.

I mean when you love yourself what does that mean?
It’s an interpretation of a masturbation of the hipness.

Hip is cool
I go to school
I want to learn
Not be a fool

There’s just not enough!
