Rhythm and Blues

They want our rhythm but not our blues They envy our natural melanin yet tan too We wear our style and they call it hood They copy it now and say it’s all good They want to erase our heroes and heroines Because there’s a power in the skin we’re in King, Tubman, Malcom X, Garvey and more are Past heroes guiding future black American stars They say it’s DEI and continue to denim deny Racist goals and faulty souls as the reason why Black is resilient beautiful and brilliant so true You enslaved raped murdered hate, we don’t need you
