In the works ..

I don't have a problem with people with authority
But when those who have guns and badges think they can just pull one over me
or when I make a small mistake
and they get rotten to the core with me,
that's when I have to stand up for my minority.

Those before for me took a hit for me
I can never forget that
But to them, the pushing through the backlash was nothing and they just discredit my history
My people paved the way just for me yet I'm still having to clear my path to not feel inferiority

I'm not an angry black woman
But I'm not happy
I can't even walk to the store now without worrying about the owner trying to slap me
Get off your butt nigger and work for respect ?
I tried that
But you know what happened ?
Because my skin was brown,
suddenly your employment you couldn't provide that
