Unsettled Souls  

Life is a trip! Or Am I tripping?  

Not knowing where I’m going but I’m packed  

Packed in a Society where the Political figures  

pose as GOD but now they use government halls as churches  

Where it’s illegal to pray to GOD  

unless its terrorist season you’re draped in an American flag  

and just buried every and anybody you’ve ever loved  

A society baptized in discrimination! the only reason you got that job is  ‘cuz that Fortune 500 company is trying to meet their TOKEN quota  

So yeah  

they bombard you with fake grins become fake friends making you think you fit in then you go  and bleach’ yo skin turning ‘yo back on ‘yo kin……  

Then you up and get fired reason being you lied on your application when you were hired  Saying “you said you were black!” Now how about that?  

But the fact is  

 self is everybody’s worst enemy hell I know first hand ‘cuz even I’m afraid of what’s in me!  Whether it be GOD or the devil GOOD or bad  

black or white…  

it won’t let my soul settle If it’s the devil look how many girls I’ve deceived  

how many times I’ve said I LOVE U with my fingers crossed and made them believe! If it’s  white I can’t rest until I get a six figure job a house, a wife, PLUS a secretary about three dis respectful kids a gang ‘a credit cards then commit suicide!  

If it’s black all I want to do is blame the white man for holding me back  never apply for a job have seven kids by six different women  

sell drugs, get a fresh ride smoke weed and hycide…..but if it’s GOD  

the world gone be surprised ‘cuz ya’ll waitin’ on the Heavens to fall  

and HE got a representative rite b4 ‘yo eyes! So be careful of the words you speak, ’cuz you  never know the UNSETTLED SOULS  

it may reach!
