who are you ( the realness)
who are you
not the name on your birth certificate
where your mother and father ( if he chooses to be around ) can say your name
pronounce your name without sounding illiterate
who are you
i'm white
you sure you're white
why are you trying so hard to act hood
yet, you were born with a silver spoon in your mouth
and you rap like a goofy eninem wannabe
reminds me of john cena
who are you
i'm black
you sure you're black
if you're black, why are you alienating the black community
by conveying that they're inferior to you
furthermore, if you have nothing for me, i don't want to even associate myself with you
sounds like a jail goof name o.j.
who are you
i'm puerto rican
you sure you're boricua
then tell me why you look like a russian spy spiking your hair like a flat top
naming your two sons nikolai and gorbachev (however you spell that name, nobody cares)
i think her name is maria ( my ex colleague told me about )
who are you
i'm a dark skin dominican
you sure you're dark skin dominican
then tell me why you bleack your skin as white as ghost
and blame skin disorders for your preconceive notion that being dark is ugly
that sounds like sammy sosa
who are you
i'm half black, half spanish
you sure you're both
tell me why you're speaking with a fake brititsh accent,
and you're as tan as a hardwood floor
you're a girl i knew a long time ago by the name of octavia
who are you
i'm light skin
from the dominican republic, use to live in washington heights
don't tell nobody that because where i'm from is shameful to talk about being poor
i would rather glamorize about living in miami
hide my accent, sound american, and speak half way spanglish
that sounds like a-rod
who are you
i'm a black man with a afro
who took a knee to protest peacefully
about social injustices, police brutality, and inequality
yet one of my own kind tells me to cut off my afro and present a cleaner image
that was a message from michael vick to colin kaepernick
what do these chronicles all have in common
what they all have in common is perpetual stereotypical notions that you need to look a certain way
seeking acceptance from corporate america
the world God created that is been mistreated by hypocrisy
where people ( the human flesh ) misquotes the bible maliciously to gain one's own selfish advantage
by any means necessary
my bible tells me in Romans 14:3 that the one who eats is not to regard with contempt the one who does not eat
and the one who does not eat is not to judge the one who eats, for God has accepted him.
people can masquerade their own ideas with intelligence by intimidation
where in actuality, people are deeply imprison with hate
1 Corinthians 13:1 saids that if i speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but do not have love
i am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal.
whether you like or not, you are God's creation
in case if you don't believe it
do me a favor, look in the mirror and ask yourself this honest question
who are you?
