"Nigga, Stop Crutching"
  by Blakfiya


Shadow Boxin (Instrumental) - Gza
----
[REFRAIN]
This is all I can ever be,
look at my history,
see what they did to me

-(Stop Crutching)-

Address the ghetto
Black, Nigger, or Negro
an oppressed people

I feel you, but Nigga
-(Stop Crutching)-

They'll never let a man be,
Separating the family,
Bush don't give a damn

uh huh
-(Stop Crutching)-

Both your feet work
Time to prove your worth
Though the past still hurts
Lets heal

-( and Stop crutching)-

---
First things first
please note that no people have it easy
road blocks designed to impede clearly
but if you own the diagnosis
- self medicate -
rhetorical speaking has no place in a debate

I hate
the types I see
running the streets
Why? "...because I gotta eat."
You done did three bids, lost your kids, plus shot up.
but sucking your teeth when a real job gets brought up
Won't vote (some can't vote but won't say they let that crucial power be taken away)
won't read a book unless a chick wearing a thong,
or the latest fashion show for metro-homo-sexual-give-Pavlov-signals
!!BUY ME!! !!BUY ME!!
CAUSE I DEFINE THEE
rock this whip, take this sip of French shitty wine
Now (lmao) you're refined, till Hammer time
forecloses on your Rent-to-buy furniture
tossed out on streets like
The nurturer - the mother - multiple lovers
Maury Povich, 3rd times the charm appearance
waiting to hear its...

-NOT THE FATHER-

she acting like she can't believe this?

Love drama
but not hard work
yet its the kids who really hurt
by losing out on experiences beneficial
seeing parents working hard to own a piece
that won't depreciate in value, but will grow and keep them grounded
in the society that they live in
provide inheritance to pass on to THEIR children
good times, with hard times (this comes with the territory),
but black owned business would increase our power
-Proprietary -

its very crucial before more decades pass
that as a whole, we get off our ass
and learn quick that the dyes been cast
This is our reality.
While things can change, some things will always be
and in life, its survival of the fittest
Success is up for the taking, calling to us - "Come get this!"

Above all, its deceitful people,
for us to stand and SCREAM I'm equal
then blame another man, who though lethal,
eats and shits and dies like we do
Cause I say if he CAN control you
its because he's supposed to
(Fuck that)

Nothing from nothing leaves nothing
so build something

But Nigga,
In the meantime…?
STOP CRUTCHING

theres so many issues i could address in this poem but regardless this is incredibly expressed ...I am excelling beyond my skin color its harder but hell nothing worth having if not earned & all these stereotypes stay in existence if we give them power & authority to...inspiring & since i was knee high I've always aspired to be a better human being not a representative of a race or a racial slur..
