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 .

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...

360

He walked by….. I stopped…. Did a 360….. Thought ..Damn! This man is hot I don’t know if it was the pheromones Or my hormones But its got me Trippin over my own thoughts I stood there for a minute Thinking how I’d like to let him in it He turned back… Did a 360….. Saw me standing there Shit!….I froze I don’t know what to do Thought about giving him the digits And I wanted to kiss him too! He walked closer I started to sweat Felt the commotion going on in my underpants Then I saw his smile The gleaming in his eyes It was like this man was sending Sound waves of shock up my thighs My stomach did summersalts My heart raced a bit My body started to tremble Damn! Was he the shit! He held out his hand To offer his greeting I tried to return the move But I couldn’t… I lost my grove Hello… he smiled again I felt like I was caught up in a whirlwind Hello….I replied Not knowing what else to do I tried to play it off Didn’t want to l...
