#20 Young America
I pray up to Heaven to bless the people of 9-11.
While watchin' my back for those sins of seven.
It's nuthin' to destroy a life but a lot to raise one right.
How many sistaz and brotherz are we gonna lose tonight?
I do my part by followin' my own heart.
Even I'm wrong at times so God where do I start?
Hypocrits can't tell me a thang if they ain't changed.
Gossippin' and shit thinkin' this is a game.
When it's said and done who'll ride, who'll run?
Tupac said it better 50 niggaz over a gun.
No lyin' or cheatin' I'll die 4 what I believe in.
I just laughed a death just this past weekend!
So the best I can do to myself is stay true.
You can't do me so only you can do you.
That's why I'm crazy cuz I fight the demons daily.
I can't sit and tell you that the Devil made me.
I blame myself God for gettin' lost and it cost.
Resposibility is 3-65 wit no days off.
Enemies may not be right God let them see light.
Wars equal death the takin' of a life.
Even it seems our own kind hurts us at times.
People hate on you without even tryin'.
So I stay to myself ying & and yang, right, or left?
Never too proud though to ask God for some help.
Amen.
I am America. I am the part you won't recognize. But get used to me.
Black, confident, cocky; my name, not yours; my religion, not yours; my
goals, my own; get used to me.
-- Muhammad Ali The Greatest (1975)
You can be up to your boobies in white satin, with gardenias in your hair
and no sugar cane for miles, but you can still be working on a plantation.--
Billie Holiday
Success is to be measured not so much by the position that one has
reached in life as by the obstacles which he has overcome while trying to
succeed. -- Booker T. Washington

Black quotes
Link to this page
We should emphasize not Negro History, but the Negro in history. What we
need is not a history of selected races or nations, but the history of the
world void of national bias, race hate, and religious prejudice.
-- Carter Woodson on founding Negro History Week, 1926
