"The Equalizer"
By Derrick Brown
11-11-2016
i'm no mad dude
in a bad mood
with this attitude
that's kinda rude
on some wacky trip
that's chopped & screwed
au contraire mon frere
i'm sharing aptitude
i ask of you
with gratitude
to extend me some
fair latitude
to go in on this
one beatitude
and ride the beat
after this prelude
the meek shall
inherit the earth
don't get it twisted
that day will come
when all of our worth
simply persisted
nobody's bout 2 square
up the game
that has consisted
of rules that fools
invented to maim
the unassisted
so what to do?
who can i blame?
i'm blacklisted!
... no rescue
no help for the lame
- never existed
but here's a clue
- we all are the same
essence insisted
our function's where
we gotta take aim
and get enlisted
bounce with me
open ya mind
c'mon wise up
comprehend
system design
then rise up
power ain't
never conceded
by the conceited
concessions ain't
never meted
'cause u tweeted
work ...
can generate
creativity
hope ...
can correlate
positivity
care
err
correct
share
run your race
pass the baton
so we get "there"
start ...
right where ya "be"
then know that
haters
"they can't c me"
then show that
purpose
can overtake
ambition
change
begins and ends
tradition
now
it's time to share
my identity
some
say that i am
a different entity
skills
earned my nickname
i go by "swizzy"
shoe fits
and it's my aim
to keep 'em busy
for so long
I've prayed to see
a vision
of my
people set free
collision
with the
powers that be
decision
take my best shot
and don't miss
precision
see the scale
unequally yoked
i'll tip it
drop a beat
that gets me stoked
I'll rip it
in it to win
it all
day and night
grace and
peace to y'all and
a good fight
Equality depends on opportunity AND circumstances.
