one day
someone will speed up the sample of the truth
and play it for a room full of black teenagers
who were breastfed lorriane hansbury
before they were shipped off to their schools.
im dying to see
cornell west on trl
handing out flyers of "race matters"
to a stage full of white girls who love 50
but put nigger signs on his back.
they all in the kool aid
and buying our flavor for 16.99
blasting our shit in their volkswagen jettas
trying to match our culture with their shoes.
i have seen through dreams
that niggas will forget how to laffy taffy
and start book clubs in bob johnson's basement
the video girls will make tea and everyone
will serve themselves.
the minutes will be aired in the same slot of BET uncut
and little boys will stay up alllllllllll night to tivo that shit
in fact,
someone will commericalize goals and aspirations
and brothers will attend college at an alarming rate
wearing an animated picture of bill cosby on their t shirts
toni morrison will be the president of def jam
and cats are still gonna wonder
"is she gonna make another one?"
...and another one
..and another one...
