Do we still need a Black History month
Or do you think we're just doing too much
Twenty nine days just to explain
Why we still wear the slave master last name
And is it fair or even right
That we glorify our ancestors for their harrowing fight
Against enslavement, brutality, terrorism, segregation
Separate but equal, job and housing discrimination
But they say that doesn't exist any more
and that the past is gone
So in the memory of our severely bludgeoned Brother
Can't we all just get along
And get with the program, you know, the banning of our books,
our history, our culture, our hairstyles, our looks
Melting into the pot that the kettle called "black"
Do we need to continue to tell our own story
Or just let another distort the facts
