Pat’s Justice - Innocent Criminal

They say the 60s was crazy

but the 80s were worse

Crack fucked blacks and gave birth to a curse

The moon's bright the sky's misty

Know my future cause I know my history

My life predicted by a gypsy

Murder she wrote at the end of the story the streets get me

That's what I live quickly and always keep a pistol with me

Ghetto Prisoner

Won't stop fighting until I'm free

Raised in the city of fallen angels where niggas ain't scared to bleed

If money is the root to all evil then greed's the seed

This ain't living, we taking because ain't nobody giving

America's a rich man's vision but a poor man's prison

So don't expect these politicians to give us a pot to piss in

Preacher man stop preaching because niggas ain't fixin to listen

Folks done lost hope and stopped trying

Life's a bitch from the start that's why you come out your mama crying

The world's dying, and the people have gone mad

I take a shit on the White House and wipe my ass with the flag

When will the evil end?

Too many browns and blacks in the system, victims of legal sins

In court praying for mercy when condemned by evil men

Ain't no love in the heart of the city

If there's a God where is he?

My homies dying over 100s and 50s

I sit back, sip yak and analyze the situation

Ain't a person alive that today knowing the monster we're facing

They crucified Jesus Christ, sold Marcus garvey for Rice

Shot Malcom-X in the chest, gave Nelson Mandella life

pac died at 25, Biggie died a year younger

all my life been broke i'm motivated by my hunger

Told my mama bury me with a 357, just in case God's trippin and I don't get into heaven

If he send me to Hell, then oh well, cause I just did 19 years in the ghetto as a black male

And it can't get much harder than that, I had a lot of pain in my heart, that's why I started to rap

See them other brothas will make you dance but jusice and make you think

You saving up for a Bentley I'm saving up for a tank

That's just the mindset of a soldier

Shit is crazy huh, but this is what I see

We are no longer slaves, but we sho ain't free

So until I don't have to steal and kill from my own folks

tatood across my soul are the words I just spoke

Who the fuck ya'll gone call when I break all the laws on behalf of every innocent criminal

Another Top def poetry jam favorite. It crazy that we’re still in the same cycle. Same story different year, ain’t nothing changed.

This isn’t a poem by @sirmumsila but the sentiment brings him to mind as his spirit transitions to #ancestor status today. As anytime he spoke, acted, or simply showed up to a space; his love was evident and felt. We are honored to have had his influence in our life in all the ways. From #Oz to #DefPoetry to the black box theaters of the LES & beyond, his impact is undeniable and unforgettable. May he #RestInPower Asé Repost from @theveryblackproject • “if shame was medicine we'd all be healed by now" - @69herbs ❣️ Life is such a fucking trip. This whole word/poem/balm is so powerful. It never gets old. 🙏🏿 Loving each other and especially when sickness, illness and injury are so pronounced in the life of your loved one/s and even ourselves is essential.

I want to hear those words

That makes a difference in my heart

I want that Ora

That unites us spiritually

Come walk with me in this realm

Let’s blend like the sun in the sunset

To the girl....

"It wasn't fair for me to put you on that pedestal, we both knew you were afraid of heights"

I always have an awful habit of putting people on this high pedestal, and I always get hurt because I except more from them and they never asked to be held so high.
