I forgive

 I forgive

I forgive 

You’re forgiven

You’re always forgiven 

That has been black people’s condition….

It has been that for decades 

Since 400 years or so…

After killings 

After slaughters 

After rapings 

Black people still forgive….

It bothers me, 

Why do we have to be a bigger person 

When we can hold these motherfuckers accountable?

Why do we have to hug these wicked racists?

Why do we have to listen to what Jesus says?

You know Jesus is what white folks gave us….

Look at our bleach white minds….

Look at how we became way too kind 

Way too compassionate to a white man

Who wants to genocide us….

Forgiveness is a sickness….

I won’t apologize for sayin this 

It’s the truth….

This is why black mental health 

Needs to be talked about out loud 

Our trauma needs to be addressed…

Cos slavery and colonialism has fucked our 

Minds up so is our souls…

Please study our history 

Go read how atrocities affect our brains constantly 

And how our dna carries ancestral pain….

I think it’s way of healin….

As a black race, 

We need to do a lot of self care 

For us….for each other…

We must learn dignity and respect 

For ourselves….

Cos forgiveness is weakenin our spines….

I think we were trained to listen to our hearts 

Way too much instead of our wisdom….

That’s the issue….racism is no accident…

Racism is done on purpose….

Oppression has us thinkin we’re not humans…

Does this sound like a mistake?

Not really….

Black people shouldn’t forgive 

White supremacy….black people 

Should have destroyed the system completely 

And mental illnesses has stopped us 

People stopped us….

Religion has stopped us….

Lagos love

 Lagos love 

I’m a village girl 

Waitin for a rich man 

Who can give me soft life…

I want luxury 

I want shiny gowns

Long hair wigs 

Would I ever get that?

To get a rich man 

Who marries me 

And live happily ever after….

Forget character 

I want money 

I wanna be a baddie 

I wanna be a sidechick 

Yet 

This isn’t Lagos love

Social media is another fantasy….

You heard someone says not all glitters are gold….

If you lived in that lifestyle, 

Would you forget where you came from?

I can say is 

If you come home 

And you dress wealthy 

You perform your care

You act like you’re better than the poor 

And this kind of reminds me of 

You went out into a new world 

Came back home as a colonizer 

As a foreign….

Like you’re no longer yourself anymore….

It’s like who are you?

How come you stop speakin your mother tongue? 

You spoke broken English like a white man….

Cos now you’re ashamed of your people….

Invitation to the table has gotten through your head….

It’s not Lagos love….

I heard it’s a big city….

More modernized….

Honestly 

I wonder 

Does the pattern happened? 

Cos respectfully 

In these conditions 

Africans are actin like Europeans….

I know it’s rude 

It’s uncalled for….

But hear me out 

Let me explain myself simpler as much as I can…

Colonization abused Africa….

Invaders abused the minds of melaninated nations….

This is why we observe trauma that has been passed down

Ever since Buckra stepped their filthy foot on your land….

That’s somethin to think about….

I don’t wanna sound like I disrespected my people 

From Africa, 

I’m speakin the truth….

And I love y’all….

Lagos love,

I hear stories 

Real 

And 

Unreal 

Based on experiences….

Lagos reminds me of New York City….

In my opinion 

Both places have somethin in common 

To fall in love 

To get a career 

Tall buildings 

Fancy cars 

If all of this can make you forget 

Where you came from 

Or the fact you are ashamed 

Of your family, 

Cos you made it 

Your standard is upgraded 

Next thing you might become 

A downfall 

Just cos of your success 

Your pride got bigger 

And it’s sad….

I never been to Lagos before 

I used to live in New York….

All this luxury all this money 

May not crack up to be….

Cos really, invitin to a white man’s table 

And money could really bring you happiness….

Unless you truly are delusional….

Slide

 Slide 

Do we have to let 

White people slide?

Do we have to?

Part of it is our 

Mental slavery…

I know 

I know 

I know 

I always mention 

Our conditions…

But we must know where 

It came from….

It’s sad 

That as black people

We continue to 

Forgive to give a piece of shit 

A pass cos we believe it’s the right 

Thing to do and majority are 

Christians…

Ya we’re kind people 

However there’s a damage 

In our genes that turns to reflex

Compassion is our trauma response 

To our enemies….

It’s why 

I can’t stand 

Our people who are 

Givin these bitch ass racists 

Grace…..after they killed our 

Loved ones…after they called 

Us niggers….after they slapped 

Us in our faces….we keep givin 

Them grace like we’re trained to do….

I keep sayin 

We need to put white folks 

In check….without apologies….

We don’t need kumbaya 

With them especially 

When they hate us hardcore…

We shouldn’t let racism slide 

We shouldn’t forget it….

You can’t forgive 

An oppressor 

Who keeps oppressin you…

You need to defend yourself 

You need to fight back 

The gaslighting 

The manipulation 

Will make you slide 

Don’t let them….

I don’t care about 

Jesus 

I don’t put him in your 

Situation 

Where you feel disrespected 

And You have to defend yourself…

Sometimes you do wanna punch 

A colonizer in the face….

As a black person 

You’re tired 

Of the bull shit

Of the microaggressions 

Of stereotypes 

Of all the things that you have to go through…

You’re not the only one who feels this way…

You never have to let white people slide 

Not even other races….

You stand up for yourself….

You stand up for your community….

I don’t mind 

Watchin black people 

Whoopin white folks’ ass 

On social media, it gives me joy 

Cos who the hell are you talkin to?

We’re not in slavery 

White folks ain’t our masters 

Anymore….

I saw how they act 

Like they’re still slaveowners

They need to get out of that 

And leave black people alone….

They won’t….

Fuck around and find out 

Smack downs 

Does 

Exist…..

We don’t let that bull shit slide 

Anymore….

It does give me hope….

I just wish there were 

More billion of us 

Stand on business 

Instead of tellin other black people 

To let it slide….
