What's Your Conversation???

What's Your Conversation??
What's On Your Mind??

Why Is It That When I Speak...Your Loud Uproar Turns Shy?? 
Maybe When You First Met Me...You Saw A Pretty Girl In A Yellow Dress, Pretty Brown Eyes, & Dark Brown Hair...5'5
See That's The Physical That You Wanted To See.
But Seriously...It Takes More Than Two Eyes To See Me. Use Your Ears When I Speak.
I'm Talking Music, Poetry, & Black History.
I'm Speaking Life & Singing About The Life That Jehovah Gave Me.
For Too Long My People Were Down, Blind, & Anti-Free.
Walking Around The Community Blaming The White Man, Dancing In Fears, & Keeping Those Dirty Slave Chains On Their Family.
Little Girl In The Tight Jeans Who Refuse To Let A Man Treat Her With Respect & Praise The Ground She Walks On Because She Fears He Might Leave.
To That Man Who Thinks That He Has To Get Drunk, Beat On His Wife When He Comes Home To Make Himself Feel Tough...
What's Your Conversation???
What's On Your Mind???
How Long Are You Gonna Let Society & The Stereotype Speak For You??
You Should Be Bettering Yourself, Expanding Your Wealth, & Checking Your Inside Because Lying To Your Self Daily & Hiding From The Tendency That Keeps You Free Is Sin In Itself.
Free Your Mind & The Rest Will Follow. 
Living For Today & Planing For Your Tomorrows. 
Waking Up Because It's Your Life That No-One Can Borrow.
How Much Time Can You Waste On Trying To Fit In?
Getting The New Jordans?
And The Killing?
What Else Is There To You Other Than Your Name?
What Do You As An Individual Stand For?
Because When You Ask Me For My Number Young Man...All I See Is A Blur...
Confused By My Looks & Your Wishing To Be So In-Tune. 
Why Are You Here & Other Than Your Face, Money, & Tattoos...What's To You??
What's Your Conversation?
What's On Your Mind?
Speak Up My People Because I'm Sick Of Us Standing At The Back Of The Line...Peace!!
