the first white bank
of america
took our ancestors
and made us build their
first white bank of
america
and now
the first white bank
of america
still does not want to pay
us
for our trouble
for our pain
for the shame that we live with
forever while we are still here in
america
we deserve our reparations
we deserve our reparations
tell you what i'm going to do
i am going to take this issue
all the way to
washington
d.
c.
i am personally going to
walk into the
oval office
of the
white
house
i am going to personally demand that
president warren g. harding write a check backed by the
first white bank
of america
charged to the amount of
billions
of dollars of
cotton money
and have him write it out
to me
he knows
it has been
a long time coming
a long time coming
for all of the pain
for all of the suffering
of our ancestors
this poem is not a rumination
this poem is a creation
straight from my pronounciation
so true that it inspires fascination
so cool you will keep it on rotation
and you will drop in conversation
attribute me with a quotation
this is the articulation
of my allegation
of that according to my calculation
america owes payback to the entire african nation
america owes payback to an entire civilization
of illegal confiscation
my people forced into involuntary immigration
of involuntary relocation
to build someone else's nation
this is a provocation
that deserves more than emancipation
we deserve compensation
and we have been waiting through the duration
but now is the end of white devil monetary constipation
this is the peak of my aspiration
i am not waiting for an invocation
my words form an illustration
of action waking up from hibernation
this is my revelation
of a demand for signed confirmation
cut along a perforation
an apology for needless degradation
and when i cash the check there will be jubiliation
i'm not done
when president harding writes out that check
when president harding writes out that check
when president harding writes out that check
to me
i will know know that
there has been justice
i will then give you a little somethin
somethin
after
i take out the
finder's fee
do not look at me like that
i have to charge the fee
i have to charge the fee
see
until me
no one has been willing to do it
no one has been willing to do it
no one has been willing to do it
