Reminder

aggravated with the complexities, the hurdles , and the struggle

sick of the complacency, the hustle, and the not so subtle

racisit impressions pressed so hard piercing that which my spirit embodies

oppressed and pigeon-holed constant targets of their prejudicial hobbies

closed fists in the air symbolizing unity

yet they perceive it as a threat, one of mutiny

inserted the boys in blue into our hoods to serve & protect

yet their crooked with their wicked schemes, undeserving of our respect

41 shots, Diallo, and Louima, and Sean Bell

they're designed to keep us under, if you can't tell

racial profiling incorporated to cause much plight

an attempt to derail the dream, to keep us from the real fight

so we fall victims to the underhanded I can't understand it

we must stay focused get reparations for all that we demanded

liquor stores numb the pain, and the drugs kill our minds

scared to follow leaders yet our causes are all intertwined

lost sight of Dr. Kings dream so our current condition is that of the blind

maybe all that we're in need of is a reminder of what we're searching to find
