I Square
They’re on the march again
Cool jerk protesting
has turned into
hip-hop stylus skipping
That same delusional dream
make you wanna ...
make you wanna
Make you wanna
keep a time capsule sleeping
Demockcrysieze favorite patronized people
are on the march once more
Their circular logic
is the insomnia same as it was sixty years before —
Shuffling along,
dancing predictably
to the same old Triple color cloth con threescore
That imaginary dream
continue to march
to an alternate reality drumbeat
As their civil rights keep auto-repeat
get trampled on con-stitutionally
I square
for the life of me,
those jitter bugging, ballot blind people
don’t wanna see
the root cause
that makes them so half-stepping feeble
I dawn surmise,
woke theorize
Dem marching orders
is what make King mocking birds of pray
suppressed vote sing
