letra de what do you see when you see me? - evan miyawaki

Loading...

what do you see when you see me?
my skin colored dark ebony?
black wrists chafed by the chains of slavery?
an unplanned pregnancy?
(“we” reproduce exponentially.)
of course i must be slow mentally
momma was a crack fiend so i’m challenged developmentally
my only future- the penitentiary

what do see when you see me?
do you see your enemy?
your future poisoned posterity?
your wife’s, your girlfriend’s, your daughter’s unlawful infidelity?

you think you see our “true blood”-
n-ggers with no integrity, intellectually, aesthetically doomed by our heredity
living, breathing, obscenities
or do you see your destiny? your legacy?
mr. norton, i know it feels good when you look at me and see your own supremacy

mr. norton, dr. bledsoe, brother jack
do you feel for me?
would you cry for me?
die for me?
for once- i think we both see clearly
for you say you see me- but what good is polishing your gl-ss eye?

or are you afraid of me?
is that why you hide behind violence, white supremacy, k.k.k., the confederacy?

why do you hate me?
my only sin is in my skin
mr. police man- what did i do to be so black and blue?

what do you see when you see me?
it’s a simple question really- but one that masks a hard truth
cause truth is- you don’t see me
and i’m not talking about my skin turning clear bio-chemically
you refuse to see me

but let me make one thing clear-
i’m jack the bear and i’ll tear into you with no fear
i’m no phantom, no ectoplasm, no ghost
i’m the dark terror of a nightmare from the nigerian coast
i’ll move these black herds with my words
until seeing me is a necessity

i hope one day you will learn to open your inner eye
and when i ask, “what do you see when you see me?”
you can reply- “a man.”
