Tyrone might even have it on bootleg when you walk out the door
Don’t forget to get your t-shirt…
We are going to welcome Idris Elba, Michael Ealy, Megan Goode, and Halle Berry to the stage
And no…
They are not talking…
But while I have your attention…
I’d like to welcome you to hell.
Where a college dropout
Knocks up a rich girl
And they name their kid after a direction
And I’m supposed to give a fuck.
Where boughetto broads from Texas
Marry dope dealers from New York
And they name their kid after a color
And I’m supposed to give a fuck.
Yes… welcome to hell.
Where a million white people
Buy a cd
And can’t sing along
To a song named after another white person
Guess they aren’t supposed to
“Clap for a nigga with his rappin’ ass”
Welcome to hell.
Where reality
Is scripted
And everyone is pumped about a show
Changing the meaning of SCOTUS
Side chick of the United States…
Let our girls all grow up to be
Highly intelligent
Powerful
Jump offs…
Welcome to hell y’all…
Where people care more about
Former Disney stars twerking
Than the slow death handed to them
Courtesy of super corn at their favorite super store
Attention WalMart shoppers…
This
Is
Hell!
Where no one is genetically superior
Because everything is genetically modified
Where teachers teach to tests
Our kids can’t even read
And socially promoted bad asses terrorize
And the fourth goal of the teacher’s union is high quality education
Oh yes…
Welcome to hell!
Where the pro life
Are pro guns
Yes hell…
Where no we won’t teach you about sex
No we won’t help you get birth control
No you can’t have an abortion
No you can’t get free health insurance
And no you can’t get daycare assistance
But see what you need to do is get off your lazy ass and work.
Hell…
Where I am both unconscious and assimilated
Because I bear no opinion on the fugitive status
Of those who desire to win a game of chess
By knocking over the board.
You see…
This is Hell
Where we tell our youth
To change the game
But don’t give them the tools
Required for the job.
Where the legacy of slavery
Is alive and well
Defibrillated every time
We tell someone not to vote.
Welcome to hell
Where you should ignore the process
Hate without knowing
Think as you are told
And blame the whole for the errors of the part.
Where one slice of pie hits the floor
And we need to throw the whole thing away
That’s how we roll here in hell.
Where we blame the creator
For what we’ve created
For where we choose to dwell
For who we choose to be
Where love is a sin
Hate is the norm
And we judge people
As easily as we breathe
Welcome to hell
Where no one is a slave
Everyone is righteous
Everyone is a teacher
Everyone is awake
Where nothing I have said
Makes any sense
Because y’all choose to stay awake in this dream
While I sleep in reality
Welcome
To
Hell
