your true self

the world is waiting for people like me to make a difference in change

i make sure i change within myself before i embark changes necessary to live in a better place

the world was waiting for a tupac shakur, may god bless his soul

to speak about the cruelty that's affecting all of us as a whole

the people in this world weren't ready for us

because we got big mouths!!!!!!!!!!!!

there is tremendous similarities where we don't bite our tonges for nobody

It feels like we have to prove out manhood through rage, anger, by being thought provoking geniuses 

we get ostracize for being brutally honest

why? 

we're based on reality while others remain silent and pretend to go along with something where deep down it's wrong

violence and chaos were caused in the days of the old testament in the bible featuring kane and abel

where kane provided goods that was so disingenuous that god dismiss is presence

and out of hatred, he killed abel

the people in this world are not ready for me because i speak with passion and conviction

that i can always look in the mirror and always be true to myself

at least i am proud of my roots, regardless of its historical atrocity on different levels, i am proud to be who i am because the history of my origin is what makes my country stand out as a true boriquen

i happen to listen to the government of the dominican republic

it was instructed by officials to seize haitians and deport them back to their country

because they are black? what is wrong with being black?

well, dominicans are black, i don't care what any of them say

even if you're light on the outside, you're black on the inside like a berry

and if you're dark, don't bleach your skin light due to being preprogram is believing that being dark is ugly

haiti is your next door island neighbors

in case you don't know, we are all brothers and sisters, we bleed the same color

i'll say this one more time

we are all brothers and sisters, we bleed the same color

and if you truly ask an educated dominican, he/she will concur with what i infuse

infusion of truth that nobody doesn't want to listen to

you continue to suppress the oppress

and it's not even about racism among blacks and whites

it's within yourselves in sufferage of identity crisis that continues to slay you radical roots

i'm sure i'll get backlash from this

but at least if people ask me about nationality, i say where i'm from proudly

self-reliance will help me withstand hatred swarming from all directions

i'm ready

i'm prime to hit you

not with fists, but knowledge that will leave you breathless

where you trying to catch that 2nd wind after i drop science that doesn't need formulas

but ingredients in overriding the anarchy of the world people transform it to be
