In the words of Huey Newton Bobby Seale & the Revolutionaries before me We want the governments Power in the hand of the people Which means you & I That's Exactly why we say all power to The people All of us equally United, all races, all colors I want the government to Actually care about its people We want education & prison Reform Over 70% of inmates in America's prisons cannot read Above a fourth grade reading Level I need our parents to Understand & value education & The child will follow There is a Relationship Between Incarceration and Low Literacy Politicians and journalists often Claim prison planners Use third Grade reading scores to predict The number of future prison Beds needed I want our brothers in prison on Cannabis related drug charges To Be immediately released & given Therapy for prison PTSD It Makes no sense that cannabis Distribution is legal now in Many states Yet our brothers are Still incarcerated for years to Come I want to stop feeling as though I must be "on guard" all the time I want to be able to see a police & not feel as though I must be On high alert And worry if my Next move will be my last move I want our sisters to be loved & For my brothers to stop calling Them female dogs & garden Tools The disrespect is Unnecessary & makes no sense Because our mothers are the tree Of life that we all spawned from My love for my motha could Never allow me to disrespect Our queens I want our fathers to stay & I Need our fathers to teach our Sons That it's okay to cry & feel Emotion but your head up I Need our fathers to do right by Our mothers & show our Daughters How man is supposed To love a woman I want people of color to Establish generational wealth & Teach our youth that their skin Is gold, their melanin is Beautiful & a blessing I grew up In a family where my cousins & I Were the first to have degrees in The family & I grew up in a Society that allows for many Melanated youth To have no one To look up to but rappers & Athletes Turning on a tv to see That America's standard of Beauty did not look like them Causing generations to Unintentionally underappreciate All the attributes that make Them beautifully who they are Creating a stigma of good vs bad Hair Dark vs light skin follow Into the prophecy of the Willie Lynch letter I want the media to stop Covering stupid shit & giving Publicity to stupid shit That Blantantly show how bored we Are as a society to watch people Destroy their lives for fame We Need to publicize more Positivity Expose & parade Those that are shining a light in A world so dark I wanna challenge you to better Yourself, not for yourself but for The people For the future & for Us. I need everybody to Understand & here me clearly United we stand & divided we Fall, we are all in this together I Need America's society to Change. I need humanity to Change! I grew up in a society Fully of apathy & a lack of love For one another filled with envy & jealousy I want more love in The world. More compassion More care One love. Rest in Piece Nipsey Hussle. We gone Ride for you. The Marathon Never Ends
