I could show you what you will find
I could show you what you will find
When you remove yourself from the aligned
And the confined
it's the Black girl hiding in disguise,
Unnamed as history rewinds
Enshrined in the redesign
Of mankind
Annihilate the Black mind
Nah, she's cryin’ cause she alive,
But the winded breaths
Of white supremacists
are keeping her behind
And The nicotine
Puff, puff, puffed
From her Grandfather down to her sister’s niece
Transfers like caffeine
Flowing down her throat
Filling the void canteen with addiction
The depiction of her crackhead grandma
Bring the cross
Prepare for crucifixion
Black girl has no jurisdiction
No justice like that
rape conviction
Where she was the victim and she
Paid time in the system
For not cumming sweet like a good little kitten
And when her body becomes the vending machine
For men to rifle through
While she floats to the in-between
You’ll remember that this girl is only fifteen
So much of this world left unseen
Except for the obscene
Rhythms of that man
Shredding her to pieces only to put her back together
As the the vacant vaccine
For other black women
“Come with me” he’ll say
But if you don’t cum for him
Watch as he skins
The face off of humanity
You will never understand brutality
Like watching your mother
Get whipped, beat, and pimped out
Watch her get clouted by insanity
Is this the Black reality?
Where women are harvested by the pound
Their souls wound
And drowned
In the American compound
And you won’t hear a sound
From Brothers weeping
On our ancestors’ burial grounds
But can’t seem to find
the same compassion for the
modern day Black girl
Nah, he's cashed in
His rations
To become a fraction
Of the white ideal.
And see, I understand
It’s quite attracting
To leave behind your faction
To become a part of the ashen,
A bystander to extirpation
But don’t forget
When you look at the world dispassioned
It's not because of the women you were smashing
Its because of your ignorance
Towards the thrashing
and crashing of the Black woman
encaptioned
While you saw as her distraction
Watch now as colonization
becomes the assassin
of you,
Dead inaction
And Still Black girl lays detained
Yet, untamed
The Black Girl ain't ashamed
To be constrained in the restraint
Cause you're afraid
Of the enraged and
unexplained
contained within
This body of a chain
She ain’t no slave
Within these veins
Ingrained is the blood of a Black woman’s name
You cannot drain or even attain
That which lives in my sisters’ flame.
And sacrifice comes with
the birth of each Black woman
Her essence explores
The world’s beginning
But, how do you silence
The rapture of life
Imprisonment can not
disorient
The stomp of a continent
When she finds her mother
Suspended in your convent.
Watch as the daughter of Nefertiti
finds her kingdoms in ash
Saw her people slashed, snatched
and dispatched to the New World
A new coming of age Where Black people are slurred as slaves.
And the Black child becomes lost
in the transition between adolescence
And her grave.
There is no difference between
enslavement and death
In both cases you lose
your mind, you body, and
the strength to know your existence
is more than a myth.
What does 400 years of oppression do to the mind
What has it done to the child
Has the Black girl become desensitized,
to her own demise
Does she know she has a story
If she told it, would you listen
Though her skin glistens under the sun of melanin
her dreams rot under the expectation of feminine
And still her mind lived in the sky
An abbreviated existence amplified
Until her body became the Beast’s battle cry
“The Black Girl has Got to Die!”
Say goodbye to inked butterflies
Whose thousands of wings shutter in compliance
This is no longer a class on political science
It's about alliance and defiance
64,000 Black Women are currently missing
In America today their clocks are ticking
What is the cost of living
If not the rip, risk, and splitting
Of an Oppressor who has decided
That this country’s greatest ambition
Is the erasure of the Black condition
See, they can pray in contrition
When the grave of our Black Women
is just the partition.
