Recognize.

By India Shank

Y’all better recognize the enterprise in those set of eyes which is your future. 

Hopefully, it’s with the mask off and your presence can tell people to back off and if they step on
your toes you can tell them to jack off because the success in your life deserves the hat off.

Being Black isn’t a privilege…It is GIVEN. I shouldn’t have to fight in this life like I am in a
prison, Scared of the blue. 1… 2 Who shot you? And YOU, yeah you’re not true. 

For the Whites have forsaken you. They made you believe that you got to do what they do in
order to get through. They got you all messed up like an untied shoe all because you are afraid of
doing you.

Wow…That’s the power of white supremacy.

They got the power to make the blacks turn their backs on other blacks and that’s what I call an
enemy, but it's ok. It is because of the FEAR. The racism that is put out has a way of making
blacks disappear.

They’re like Thanos, all it takes is one snap of a finger, but that same snap of a finger can allow
your success to linger so… WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO?

We are BLACKS living in a world of say Souls meaning we can’t make a move unless

their higher power gives the “say-so”. Man it's obvious they don’t want our population to grow
but little do they know; Our Black Skin glows, this melanin skin puts on a show.

So, forget all their lies and just recognize the enterprise in those set of eyes cause this is
your life.

Make it your Passage of Right.
