The problem with Black people

Is we spend more time talking about our ambitions than being ambitious

We talk about more moves than we make

Flexin on the gram

Because the money is the motive

And we spend more time with our twitter fingers than with our thoughts


Because we are taught not to aspire to inspire

Unless we are a Rapper, A ball player or the butt of your joke

can't aspire to inspire unless we play the stereotype roles that society has bestowed upon us


We are too busy trying to escape our Blackness

Because money and class absolves race


So we race for quick money and quick fame

Because quickness never comes quick enough

And since we can't achieve wealth we bath in its false profits

Which is why buy a braggadocious car just to flex

And we spend more money on our jordan collection that we do on expanding out mind


Because it cost nothin to expand your mind

And if I can't flawnt it like the chains I wear

And the brands I buy

Or the shoes I rock do I really need them


And you ask me what

The problem with Black people is

I will tell you it is that we care about idols and Images before ourself and our people

We spend more time divided

And try to tear each other down as if we were the berlin wall

We spend more time searching for clout before finding our own clerity

The problem with Black people is

Is that we have not learned to be unapologetically Black
