Makes Me Wanna Holler PART II

Makes me wanna holler
Cause I’ve only just begun
Had so much shit to say
I called the first poem
Part I

Makes me wanna holler
That’s why I’ve written you
Got me so damn angry
I had to make part II

Makes me wanna holler
We are the modern slaves
I can see our ancestors now
Turnin in their graves

Makes me wanna holler
Cause they fought all our wars
Hell look at us all today
We don forgot what they were fightin for

They fought for all our rights
The right to sit at the front of the bus
But you wanna take you ass straight to the back
Now you tell me which nigga is whack
The person who fought or the one sittin in the back

The right to be treated with equality and fair
The right to walk in a restaurant and sit in any chair

Many died for the right we take for granted most
They were sprayed, mutilated & killed
So you and I could vote

Makes me wanna holler
We modern Sambo fools
Got our children idealizing
Drugs, hustlers, guns, and video hoes
Rims, crystal, platinum & gold
Looks like with all this freedom
We don lost our souls

Yeah It makes me wanna holler
What a pity
What a shame
All the heros of our past
Are lost faces
With no names

I can hear our ancestors now
Saying …One day wez gon be free
But lookin at how we livin
Uncle Sam’s sittin back laughin
Yuz still a nigga to me

I Like My Coffee...Like I Like My Man

I like my coffee Like I like my man Black Strong Robust Full of flavor Lively Deep Vibrant Hot Steamy With more caffeine Than a drug dealer That wakes my senses And brings me alive I like my coffee Like I like my man Exotic Addictive Potent Lingering in my thoughts Long after the initial introduction Sturdy Balanced With definition And variety Chameleon like Having the ability To blend in any environment Yet never looses it originality Nor its essence I like my coffee Like I like my man Giving me the “lift” I need To make it through the day Under any circumstance So addictive, that I find myself Wanting…..needing Just a taste of him Several times a day I like my coffee Like I like my man First thing in the morning After a shower And sometimes before To “wake” up my senses And bring me alive To journey on my way Black Strong Robust Vibrant Yeah...... That’s how I like him .

If I Were A Word

If I were a Word I’d want to be made love to I’d want to be stroked and caressed If I were a Word I’d want to be thought about carefully Not used in ignorance or mischief But for wisdom and love I’d want to be strong, fierce Powerful Like a fire that ceases to burn I’d want to leave them yearning for more If I were a Word I'd want to inspire and encourage Last as an eternal thought Having meaning and purpose If I were a Word I’d want to be understood Believed Conceived And Forever on the tongues of Poets If I were a Word I’d want to be scribed As an hieroglyphic On the ancient walls Of time As an emblem on the papyrus Of consistency If I were a Word I’d want to be holy And sacred Like life given to a new born baby The Light The gateway To everlasting life If I were a Word I’d be creation And manifestation of all things living I’d want to be like the permanent marker That can not be erased, eradicated, nor removed From the heart. If I were a Word I’d want wings like birds and unicor...

Makes Me Wanna Holler (REVISED)

Makes me wanna holler That was Marvin’s song…. It makes me wanna holler The way they do my life Got my mind trippin from all this struggle and strife Makes me wanna holler Cause we ashamed of how we look thinking black is not beauty Yall better double check yo history books Makes me wanna holler Cause media tells us to be ashamed Of our kinky hair Long gazing stare Full plump lips And vivacious hips We got skin color wars Cause mine is lighter than yours Yet other folks is dyin From tryin to be kissed by the sun want to add a little color And yall think we on one Yeah it makes me wanna holler Can’t you see that we still slaves, Blind to poverty Makes me wanna holler Mama raised us all alone When all the while daddy was there living in the home my daddy gave the crack man his loyalty And the crack heads he did his drugs with was his family We sell that dope Rob other poor folks Hustle & pimp our women And forgot to teach our children Tryin to get that dime To by that gold & plat...
