life is short , a hobbit told me that .

rest in paradise Robert Lee Lett III, this is fer you .

confidence is key .

so is the lock modesty?

words are words,

but verbs? they dont harm me .

your cocky actions are seen ,

but they are not charming .

understand me, i see through your "nigga this, nigga that"

your "blood this & cuhz that"

but i question it.

not so much yer intellgence,

but yer reasoning.

why act one way to amuse yer friends?

mock your ancestors fer laughs?

i dnt understand..

but then i think to myself , do i want to understand?

do i want to understand why you shot him because he crossed the wrong street?

or because this drug wasnt that drug?

do i want to understand why the police shot a brother dead fer takin out his wallet ?

his wallet!?

do i want to understand why she injects drugs into her system to "escape the world" as if it was only attacking her?

now , do i wanna understand why im refered to as a color , instead of an intellegent individual? like my ancestors created this "ignorent nigger" sterio type ? like everyone with big lips, big hair, & beautiful curves are good fer nothing ?

some things arent ment to be understood,

& i understand that .

but whats to be understood, if everything mentioned is facts ?
