Oh I wasn’t a slave

 Oh I wasn’t a slave

Oh I wasn’t a slave…

I don’t have any trauma…

What are you talkin about?

~

Umm

Your ancestors were slaves

Your ancestors were colonized 

And it’s been passed down to generations 

After generations….

Such pain 

Such abuse 

Has been carried through our dna..

We may not be a slave 

We may not be traumatized 

But our people has experienced 

The horrors 

The terrors…

And where did we get it from?

Why do we mimic?

Also some of you are in denial….

Go ahead 

Defend yourself 

Tell me that 

The slaveowners never held terrorism 

Tell me they were kind

And the fact we’re not slaves…

Cos the white man has trained you 

Extremely well….

You’re such a “good black friend.”

We may not be slave 

Thought our minds still lock up 

Tight til we learn the truth…

Apparently, 

You chose not to face the 

Facts…you wanted to be delusional….

You have that right 

Just don’t get too comfortable 

Cos white supremacy will always remind 

You’re still a nigga….with the e r…..

Without movin a mouth 

They will let you know by their expressions 

And actions 

They speak louder volumes…

I’m sure 

you might end up doin 

What they say….

Yet 

I thought you wasn’t a slave 

Thought you have no trauma….
