“Melanin King“ ... (Explicit Lyrics !!!) A Poem written By Big Virge 12/7/2020

Location

United Kingdom

Now We May Have Had... A FEW ... !!!
Who Were Seen As........ “ COOL “........
Who Made Positive Moves To Uplift Black Groups...

But Here Is The ... TRUTH ... !!!
Those of Us With DARK SKIN Are NOT Treated LiKE KINGS... !!!
We’re Just USED And ABUSED And Then Used To CONFUSE...
About The VALUE... of Our Skin With DARK HUES...
Because PROMINENCE ISN’T What We Have Been Given... !!!
When It Comes To Our WOMEN And... Leaders Positions... !!!
I Guess I’ve ALWAYS Known...
When It Comes To Ho’s DEEP DOWN In My Soul... !!!
How Things REALLY Do GO...
When It Comes To Prejudice That A Lot of Folks Hold... !!!!!
We DARK FOLKS Are Just JOKES...
For Those With Light Skin Tones... !!!
Who Seem Happy To LAUGH... !?!
About... How DARK We ARE... !!!
How We Are... LOWER CLASS... !!!
And WON'T Get Some HOT Ass Without A Light Skin Pass... !?!
They Run Talk That Is FARCE On Our IGNORANT Past... !!!
And Our Present One Too... But Some Truth Is Now Due... !!!!!
About The ABUSE That Goes Far And Beyond The SAME Old ISSUES...
of How... Colonial Crews......
Apparently Made... Blacks Deal In SELF HATE... ?!?
When EVEN Today There Are Nightclubs Around...
ALL Over The Place... That CLAIM To Play...
URBAN Music... For Us Blacks To Get Down...
Where Those With DARK SKINS THICK HIPS and Big Lips...
CAN’T EVEN GET IN... Unless They Are RICH... !!!
And These Are Things That Have ALWAYS Been... !!!
Part of Places Like Bim’... Or YES Barbados... !!!.
Where Clubs Like... " Harbour Lights “...
Have Been DEFINED To Me... By BAJAN Minds...
As A Place That Should Be Named...
As Being ... Harbour WHITES ... !!!
Because Light Skinned Flavours...
Are STILL Those Favoured As Being Much GREATER...
Than US Melanin Kings... ?!?
Are Blacks Acting On THIS...
So That These Clubs DON’T Exist... ?
Because In My Opinion These Light Skinned Dominions...
Should Be ... SHAMED And DISGRACED...
For Being That Way In The Modern Age... !!!!
But The TRUTH Is THIS... !!!
A Lot of Light Skinned Minds As Well As DARK Tribes...
Really Like To Play BLIND...
And Run ALL Kinds of LINES About SLAVERY VIBES...
That Make CLAIMS... “That It’s Whites “...
Who’ve CORRUPTED Our Minds...
To Cause INTERNAL Fights... !!!
There’s NO DOUBT That They HAVE ... !!!
INDEED Built Strands That Have HURT Africans And DIVIDED Black Clans... !!!
But Look Around NOW...
Are We STILL UNABLE To REMOVE Their Fables...
About Our DARK SKINS When We’re... " Melanin Kings "... ?!?
Especially When It Comes To The Names...
Who Were Quick To Trade...
Black People As Slaves To Those With Pale Face...
Who Were QUICK To Deal With...
Africans With... LIGHT Skin... ?!?
Take A Moment To THINK BEFORE Yes ANSWERING... !!!
And Let Me Ask You All......... THIS........ !!!!!
If We Now Ask Women Who They Find ATTRACTIVE... ?
When It Comes To Our Skins...
It Seems To Be These White Chicks...
Who Have The LEAST Melanin...
Who Are QUICK To LICK...
And Jump On Some DARK Dick... !!!
And EVEN Have Some... MIXED Raced KIDS...
Who Have YUP... LIGHT Skins...
Because They’re The HOT THING... !!!
Which Is Why They’re Now Seen...
So PREVALENTLY On Our TV Screens... !!!
Now Of Course Within SPORT...
Because RECESSIVE Genes AREN'T A Part of Our Being... !!!!
Dark Skins Are A FORCE As They ARE Now In... PORN...
Where Girls Wanna Be BLACKED... !!!
Because They’re Earning Cash For Now Bedding Black Man... !!!
I DON’T Hear Any Blacks Really Speaking On THAT... ?!?
ESPECIALLY These... AFRICAN Americans... ?!?
It’s Pretty Clear That NUFF’ Blacks...
Are Simply... FULL of CRAP... !!!
When It Comes Down To WHO...
They Choose To INCLUDE Within Their COOL Crews ...
Where TRIBALISM Is Used... To Create These ISSUES...
But We’re... “ Melanin Kings “... !?!
When Our FAMOUS Names Have LIGHT Skin INGRAINED... ?
From Marley To Manley To... Haile Selassie...
And Now The Don Lemons Are Public Addressing...
And Clearly Are STRESSING That Black Folks Should LESSEN...
Their Talk That’s Suggesting...
That Black Lives Should Matter...
... WHENEVER Their Shattered... !!!!
Even When There’s NO CAMERAS...
To CAPTURE And SPLATTER The RACISM FACTOR... !!!
Where White Folks Embrace HATRED For DARK Face... !!!
And Now We Have DRAKE...
Who Is Now Seen As GREAT...
AHEAD of Big Daddy Kane... ?!?
From F1 Chicanes To These Girls Gaining Fame...
Where Are... All THESE KINGS...
Who Have THIS... MELANIN... ?!?
It’s An Interesting Thing DON’T They All Have Light Skin .... ?!!!?
And Now Michael Holding...
Who INDEED Was A KING When It Came To Bowling... !!!
Has Broke Down CRYING About HATRED WITHIN...
Those Within His OWN Kin Who DESPISED DARK SKIN... !?!
No Wonder Poor Garvey Was Made To Leave Smartly... !!!
While Now A Man With MY SKILL...
When It Comes To Words Built of THIS... Poetic ILK... !!!
CAN’T Even Get PAID For My Melanin Brain In This... “ BLM Age “... ?!?
Aren’t These Things Somewhat STRANGE... ?!?
I Guess I Must Be...
A Black Who Now Needs To Learn My History...
When My REALITY Has CLEARLY PROVEN To ME... !!!
That My Black Skin Is NOT Something That Could Ever Make Me...

Be A...

......................... “Melanin King” ................. !!!
