Say no

 Say no

You can say 

No to white folks 

It’s ok 

You can’t have what they 

Get, doesn’t suit them well….

But they white folks 

Will tell you 

You’re racist…

Why? 

Cos you gatekeep 

Your own culture….

They manipulate 

Gaslight you 

To make you feel bad 

 Cos 

You said no…

They colonize

They steal

They pillage 

Our stuff ain’t theirs…

But we’re force to give up 

Ourselves to them

And for what?

Survival?

Life?

Energy?

We both have 

To learn to stop sharin 

Learn to be on our own 

Without colonizer’s watchful eyes 

Our souls are not theirs to begin with,…

Let them have tantrums 

Let them cry 

If they try to kill you 

Fight them 

Stop sayin

Yes to 

White people

All the time…

They’re not entitled 

To your peace 

To your kindness 

To your forgiveness 

Don’t give them energy….

Say no 

No is a great word 

To speak 

To utter 

To show in genuine verb

We ain’t their slaves 

We ain’t their kids….

We need to get out of 

Conditions of obedience 

We need to stop bendin and foldin 

We need to stop sayin ok in fear

You know that, right?

Say no….

Please black people

I wanna see more of us 

Carryin a straight spine 

No hesitation 

Cos defendin 

Ourselves are not racist….

Also don’t listen to the ones 

Who has that self hate for blackness 

To encourage you to say yes 

Who tell you don’t stand up for 

Yourselves….

They’re usually with white supremacists 

So be wise, be cautious 

Don’t let them change your mind….

Say no

Always no…💯✊🏿©️Kai C. 6-11-26
