((revolution of soul, funk
& the spoken word series))


conspicuously, my african ancestry
is synonymously eponymous w/

apes, porch monkeys, gorillas
watermelon, fried chicken

eatin, undeniably violent, shittalkin
irresponsible, deadbeat nig'guhs

as illustrated by the illustrations exclusively
drawn & discussed in private circles

quippin' w/ sarcasm, "imagine this nig'guh
knee deep pullin melons out them manure fields"

"nig'guhs don't come cheap", "why you
think we importin illegals?"

lambasting my ancestry in private
layin down racist vocals, distributin

em over mp3's spoofin, puff the magic..
offering imaginary apologies (when busted)

difficult for you to comprehend & digest
reality. festering in contemptuous envy

a man of kenyan & european ancestry
(you do understand, he's half-white?)

is the leader of the free, i mean economically
recessed world, pillaged by the wealth & greed

irregardless, the likeness o/ my ancestry
exhibitin intelligence on cnn, causes you

indescribable disdain, hurlin racial epitaphs
over conservative talk shows

in new york post illustrations, using
gorillas as an ancestral metaphor

we just some apes, porch monkeys
nig'guhs, chillin in amerikkka

guess we all can't be
what you realistically want us to be

i'gnant, lazy, unintelligent
& shiftless
