But I have never read words of a Queen until now...Nice drop..

Locked mentalities
Chained to standards of the definition some group called THEY,
Came up with
And while we keep up with what THEY are saying
THEY sit in mansions coming up with the next code of rhetoric to give us
And THEY sip on Christal because THEY said it was the best thing to drink
And THEY count dollars and gold relishing on the fact that THEY have been
Officially established as THEM
And they pride themselves for the art of illusion they specialize in
And we wait for them to paint us this picture
This high society picture
This ghetto fabulous glamorous picture
This get a record deal got it made, be a video hoe for extra change, be like Mike
Picture
This B.E.T. gospel picture
Of course because only THEY know
So….
So the dude who comes outta jail from serving time from traffic court isn’t real
And he still doesn’t have a valid driver’s license so
He can’t take that better job in Mentor and is limited to the job at the local KFC
And he’s got 2 children from a baby mamma who wants cheddar for her pockets
And she wants cheddar for her fridge
And cheat-er didn’t even come into the reality of this man’s life because
What was real was that he was taking care of his only son who looks
NOTHING LIKE HIM,
But looks sus-piciously like his best friend who isn’t so best these days
And for days,
actually months
He’s been coming around less
He says he has family stress
Which coincidently started 3 months after the baby was born
And that’s real
Real like the green eyes and birthmark that matches this dude’s best friend
But
Thinking that this woman cheated on him
Is a sin
It ain’t real
It’s a fallacy
It’s a fallacy
That this bond he feels with this boy
The love he feels when he watches him sleeping
The knowledge that when his green eyed son will crawl to him at sunrise
Knowing that his son saw God in him even at his most vulnerable
It’s not real that when he takes his green eyed son to the park with him his
Baby mamma is locking ankles around bed posts so that his real best friend can work her guts
I’m telling you, this shit aint real
It’s not real
It’s not real that when his best friend leaves the house he leaves behind drug paraphernalia
And a day later his green eyed son finds a plastic bag full of what looks like sugar
And he eats half the bag
And this sugar isn’t sweet
Have you seen a 6 month old baby overdose on cocaine?
It isn’t pretty
It looks like hope bleeding from the artery
It looks like the devil devouring your most sincere prayer to God
It looks like sin making its way into the gates of heaven
The baby begins seizing
The baby starts screaming
And he’s screaming at the top of his lungs
Shit, this can’t be real
Do 6 month old babies even know how to scream?
It’s not real
It wasn’t even his son
But that mentality is all he knew
And that mentality is what made it real
Where were THEY when they needed him?
When he sat in hospital room watching his green eyed son green like a vegetable, with vegetable brain
Brain dead
While his best friend’s guilt spilled into the room like a river damn collapsing from pressure
Knowing this boy was really his son
Knowing that he really just killed his son
Where were THEY
They who defined reality
They who made everything better by just establishing this shit wasn’t real
This can’t be real
Real like
Microwaveable pork rinds and kosher chittlins
Real like Whitney and Bobby being clean and Pamela Lee’s tits
Real like Welfare workers giving a fuck about anyone, really just wishing they could qualify to get food stamps and a check every month
Real like every dead beat dad deciding to pay child support
Real like skank hoes being housewives
Real like the nonexistence of racial profiling in suburban communities
Real like Sierra Leone being a myth
Real like LL Cool J really being the greatest of all times
Real like the pain dude saw when stared into his baby mammas eyes
Real like the pain he felt growing deep inside
Real like the forgiveness he must feel, but didn’t know why
Real like longing for his green eyed baby boy to begin to cry
Praying that the spirit of his son was in the heavenly skies
This can’t be real
When reality is only a perception of what one sees, hears, and or feels
Everything is real and
Nothing is reality
It just is what it is
And that’s real…or
Is it?
