Never Had Your Back

These 52 year olds bones
I hear creeks without water flows
Hip hop pro but will never know songs my 23 year old daughter knows
She's plays artists I dig
I ask who is that kid
Her answers are inaudible
Lil dis and dat named after mobs and gats
Mumble raps, beats are trap & every week there's an all new batch
So I just relax and let HER do HER
Cuz I prefer to defer to Black Girl Magic
Plus all the things me and my queen put into her
Lifes a blur
I remember when she was young all the lessons
That did occur
Teach her bout her BEES & BIRDS
STREETS and CURBS
And dreams DEFERRED
Langston Hughes & Miriam Makeba
Angela Davis - facts
That combat the narrative that
We're doomed as Blacks and nothing can save us
Freedom fighting is the proper behavior. I tell her

You're black queen and you're not bitch and nah nah
You are not vixen nah nah
You are not a trick bitch nah nah
You're nobody's quick fix nah nah
America's never had your back no no no
You're not trap queen nah nah
A Stripper lap dance queen nah nah
White boy fetish dream nah nah
Melanated Black QUEEN high esteem yeah yeah
Americas never had your back no no no
No no no no no
Americas never had your back no no no
No no no no no
Americas never had your back no no no
No no no no no
Americas never had your back no no no
No no no no no
Americas never had your back no no no

Stop this bull ish
Get off your pulpit
You've been a pit bull to Black women
The fullness
Of what you did in the slave shacks back in the wilderness
Having your way with women little girls
Childrenless
Breaking in entry
Centuries of souls thrown in manure pits
Then pitted your light kids against
The darker kids
Now were conditioned to keeping sparking this
Hating our own women
Intimacy divisions
And indecisions
Relational confusion
Materialistic dilutions
And all this cuz of your
Intrusions
No wonder we came to conclusions
Blacks lives don't matter
Murder of Breonna Taylor
Black blood that splatters
America constantly failing us
Give reparations
Give a separate nation
No more diversity talk
It's Black situation
And stop degrading our dear sisters on your TV stations

You're black queen and you're not bitch and nah nah
You are not vixen nah nah
You are not a trick bitch nah nah
You're nobody's quick fix nah nah
Americas never had your back no no no
You're not trap queen nah nah
A Stripper lap dance queen nah nah
White boy fetish dream nah nah
Melanated Black QUEEN high esteem yeah yeah
Americas never had your back no no no
Americas never had your back no no no
No no no no no
Americas never had your back no no no
No no no no no
Americas never had your back no no no
No no no no no
Americas never had your back no no no
No no no no no
Americas never had your back no no no

Americas never had your back
But they love to have your backside
They're infatuated with that
They loving your full lips - your melanin darkness
On them - they display
On You - they dismiss
And all of this sadness could easily be reversed
If Black queens were as as Gods packages and nurtured
We see what you've done to the people that was first here
Us rising up is your worst fear
America

You're black queen and you're not bitch and nah nah
You are not vixen nah nah
You are not a trick bitch nah nah
Election quick fix nah nah
Americas never had your back no no no
You're not trap queen nah nah
A Stripper lap dance queen nah nah
White boy fetish dream nah nah
Melanated Black QUEEN high esteem yeah yeah
Americas never had your back no no no
Americas never had your back no no no
No no no no no
Americas never had your back no no no
No no no no no
Americas never had your back no no no
No no no no no
Americas never had your back no no no
No no no no no
Americas never had your back no no no
