' NOT SUPPOSE TO BE HERE"
How is it possible Am i seeing things? Rubbing close pupils mind exercise deception I mean...really They're not suppose to be here This can't be true This isn't April first but Am i being fooled. No MTV cameras so I can't be punked I'm like what the.... this isn't illusions I seen with my own eyes with confusion I'm walking down the block so I had to stop Becoming more and convince I was sold a pack of lies I needed to find out for myself. So I walked across busy street Hey Brotha....excuse me Are these your kids? He nodded yes I was just asking On account rumor has it Black Fathers don't exist When it comes to parenting we're indifferent or completely out of picture I mean go figure Based on media cycles Even Facebook consistently recycle The French Prince of Bel Air clip Will Smith daddy played by Ben Vereen He returns but steps out at the very last scene and Will tearfully vents.."to hell with him..." and "why don't he want me?" Always consuming the news feeds Hard news reports even in poetry With testimonies and hit pieces Baby Daddy who are not worth feces..... Strongly Brought down because he wasn't around Man card is stripped Mama get all the praise She raised me Happy Father Day to single mommies.... Brothers aren't too concerned too busy swinging genitals and shooting sperm From lover to lover "Where's Daddy" On Sports Illustrated cover. These niggas are neglectful irresponsible stone rollers But Brotha, here you are you're son fast asleep in his stroller Holding your daughters hands I mean can't understand They really fooled me we barely see this reaction in movies or on TV. Oh, wait a minute....I seen a Brotha driving with his wife and kids in the back seat and another Brotha with a toddler on top of his shoulder and another escorting his daughter to a soccer game I mean goddamn...this is really insane They're not suppose to be here Yet all I see are Black Men fulfilling their duties and responsibility Just as it suppose to be....but never shown and perhaps out of fear Black Men bucking trend but when it comes to the other side the media can't comprehend and conspire to hide the proof for some reason....America don't seem to fond of Brothas caring and nurturing their youth at least not in a positive light It's more profitable to elevate the stereotype Trying to neutralize our effectiveness what it all boils down to. Obvious our presence is a threat to Prisoner Industrial Complex Along with the ability lowering teen age pregnancy and gang activity Girls grow to women choosing mates wisely Boys turning to responsible men respected widely Bottom line, they'll sure the indoctrination is continual A covert yet strong resolve making sure Black Father involvement is minimal Keeping matters hidden Despite what I'm witnessing But in American truth is usually crushed by fiction Copyright 2015 R.M.
