Yes We Can!!

They say we are crazy for the way we live and the way we act,
But we have come so far and you cant deny that fact.
They dislike the way we talk,
They despise the way we walk.
The way we dress makes them seem uneasy,
But deep down they wish they could be like us…believe me.
We are known as only rappers, ‘ballers’, and street servers,
The idea that we are so much more makes them nervous.
We are the most talented group God created,
Our inventions, ideas, and creativity will never be outdated.
They counter saying most of you are in prison rather than school,
Yet to believe we always get a fair trial you would be a fool.
No group has been built like us,
For God himself created warriors when he made us.
The slave times, the stereotypes, & the segregation,
Yet in the end we are still here so everyday should be a celebration,
We have battled with pain for years,
We can't even cry no more because our eyes are tired of tears.
Look at where we stand,
Somewhere that was not suppose to be our land.
Yet here we are standing firm,
Can we keep it going should be our only concern.
To many of us die to nonsense,
To many of us pick the wrong book in life and don’t read the table of contents.
We are so much more than what they portray,
To get to glory, pain is the price we have to pay.
BLACK MEN: the group God created built for greatness and pain,
We must stand and fight before we will no longer be in a position to gain.
Stand tall, help the next man,
Believe me when I say YES WE CAN!!
