Niggy

I want to care more like Jessica
But they keep calling me niggy tardust
Like saul
But I’m two shades lighter then black stacy
Even with these new adams on
As I stand here with picket signs
Protesting the poetic recession of words
And those fifty shots
And yet people are still wondering
Why flava flav
Is still rocking his clock
Who really is the public enemy
Or have we already forgot
The president of the united states
Was on vacation during 9/11
And when the news broke
Guess who was looking at his watch
Sometimes I feel as if we’re living
In the land that time
Forgot
Boots Riley said we should pick a bigger weapon
Yet what’s bigger then
The one that
Stopping me and you
From realizing that time and space
Are merely mathematical equations
With no physical bases
Other then the expiration dates
In which historians give them
As they tell his-story
Erosion is merely the aftermath
Of a dying world
Whose thoughts and hearts
Disappeared with the absentee god
So stop blaming Satan for your mistakes and miseries
And stop praising God
When you finally get off your a*s
And do what you should
Have did
Yesterday
And you wonder why Flava Flav
Still rocks his clocks
And you wonder why people everywhere
Are seeking out spiritual guides
And sages
Like Francis
As the white sage burns within the black living room
Of our hearts and imaginations
Poets everywhere stop claiming to have a damn third eye
When they realize that they haven’t
Yet bothered to see
The world
With just one
I want to care more like Jesssica
But they keep calling me
Niggy Tardust like Saul
But I’m two shades lighter then black Stacy
Even with these new Adams on
As I stand here
Holding picket signs
In protest of me and you
And you and I
False idols claiming to be poets
Like Val
Yet we’re all reading the wrong dictionary
And writing poems
With no meaning
And the judges loves it
Dax told me that back in 2004
four years later
Nothing has changed
Except those fifty shots
And people are still asking why
Flav is still rocking his clock
As Sean Bell’s body is laid to rest
Within a land that time forgot
