so simple its profound
~ a poem by last apostle ~
by now we know that you reap what you sow
you plant seeds because you hope it will grow
your words create your reality
so, if you put death in your verse
what you speak is a curse
your poems give birth to our fatality
you have a gift you should use it
but your music is out of tune
if when you commune
you don’t uplift all nationalities
in all actuality
hip hop inspires us to exist in certain doom
not resist or insist on what God has for me
we came to this country as cargo
and we have so far to go
look at the alarming statistics of Chicago’s black casualties
and we view these numbers so casually
to me thats frightening
you have become so
enlightened
but the light that is inspiring what you are writing
isn’t right
its the same light that was pushed out of heaven like lightning
so we think whats up is down
when I pull you up you push me down
but if I put you down you say,”thats whats up”
we are all turned around
yeah this life isnt fair
but our Tears should IGNITE a revolution
but we have embraced the illusion
we think we can be reBORN and not face persecution
Yes you are a king!
but the king of KINGS wore thorns in His crown!
Dr. King was assassinated
when he sought black economic reinstatement
i’m not making a case for reparations
although that would be retribution
after much consideration I have come to this conclusion
that we should seek a unified
VISION
when the elders speak we must listen
at the very least its our common belief
in
Yeshua
that will be the foundation of our solution
so simple its profound
