Closed Minds( a message to the House nigga)

I’m one semester away from my graduate degree
Then I will pursue my PhD maybe
But don’t know a damn thing about my true history
Only what descendants of former slave master have falsely taught me
See I have been taught to hate the real me!
Both physically and mentally
That is why I try my best to be .W-H-I-T-E
Because in all actuality my mind is c-l-o-s-e-d
By the system
I am a mental victim
When I see my people I always tend to diss them
So what! Forget them
Nah really hold …..On listen
I am getting missed education
Education that my grandparents was missing
Or is it fiction?
And most of these universities render blacks misinformed
We have studied under them for so long
Now I am not suggesting that a sound education is wrong
But you tell me what the heck is going on?
When even with all of these degrees black people are still not that strong
As a people
The teacher reach ya
But never teach ya to be productive for self
We going and offer that college knowledge right back to someone else
This is diffidently evidence of a mental death
Dreams of presidential scenes out of our children minds it goes
Like a hurricane does to the petal of a rose
Certain avenues are intentionally avoid because your mind is closed
Closed minds, closed minds
Closed minds obstruct us so many times like a field of landmines’
But you are blowing up and think
The world is mine!
You boojah people think that because your skins is lighter and they smile at you sometime
Because you receive their miss education and kiss their behind
That your life is worth more than mine!
Nigga you are blind!
Wake up check the time!
You may not be on the welfare line or in the hood anytime
But deep down within Tom you aint nothing but a shine
And your education is useless because it has closed you mind
Closed minds to your people
Do you really think rights are equal?
Same degree as them but they get higher salaries than black people
Boy you are what they made
And educated slave
Right here in the land of the free home of the braves
That they have labeled Indians or savages
It really embarrasses me
When I see interracial marriages
You major sports figures and you real
Up per dee jiggas
Takes an oath with the people that called your grand parents niggas
And many still do
I know that I am not reaching you
But when you see the true nature of these people tell me what you going to do?
Jigger boo!
There is a message within my lines
I don’t just sit down and write rhymes
But you just don’t get it with your closed minds.
Closed minds
