Not a black jack, black knave,
Ablack joker, black slave
A black man to my black grave
How many lives can we black's save?
In a black world blacks made
Where blacks stayed, blacks prayed
Black justice what we blacks crave
Black praise to the kid's black's raise
Not in a black phase or in black days
When blacks laze, blacks pays
Through black trade we blacks gave
To others with the black face

Living a black dream, a black theme
Black family, children carrying the black gene
But I hear black screams from black teens
Almost sounding like a black plea
But we've seen a black change, a vaccine
Not crack scene stories told on the black screen
Now black cream is now in fact clean
With no black tears filling up a black stream
Now the black scheme do it for the black dream
And find out what truly being black means
Not another black death of the black team
Because the card I have holds a black queen

The soulful sound when blacks sing
Like black string, it ties to black skins
Do blacks whinge have blacks sinned
Can you talk the depths to where blacks been
The black sting is when blacks win
Not the flame on the cross or the black singe
Not living on the black fringe because blacks in
Not in a black phase nor is it a black thing
Put a black spring in my step, see my black grin
While watching the upliftment of my black kin
So black men spread your black wings
I'm holding the card that reflects me: a black king

Bloody ell that was good. A real good peice bro. You should look at having it published.

Your rhyme scheme and meter was excellent and the form was all good. As for the content and the way you dropped it, that was proper quality material..

big up yourself..

Done know rappers make the best poets I lie?

@My thoughts

I really liked that it just rolls of the tongue .....but you need to get that copywright before someone bites it.

@ MyThoughts, i'm definately feeling that poem, the rhyming scheme, the content, and its pretty good how you can repeat the word "black" without ever once losing meaning or significance, its pretty good... if you got anything else like post it up





Peace
