Def Poetry Jam - Black Ice - Truth Is

...When will we move on...
When will we stop making excuses...
When we we decide that we CAN rise above...
When will we admit that the only people making black men into drug dealers are black men......
THEY ain't foolin' us anymore...WE are fooling ourselves.

Rise up, black boys, taker responsibility for your own actions, for in doing so, you cease to be black boys, and evolve, into black MEN

black men dont make excuses they make money they do what they can to provide for there family and be able to eat at the end of the day stop saying we are making excuses

I call it as I see it man. I am a black man myself, and by what I see, as a whole we use what we say are injustices as excuses to do the immoral. No matter how you spin it, drug dealing, pushin', selllin', or whatever you want to call it, is WRONG. It ruins lives and perpetuates stereotypes. The once glorifying the streets don't seem to be the white man, but rather our own men. Jova, Wayne, Jeezy? They are not white after all...

Hey its just one mans opinion...

PREACH!!!!!!!

i have goosebumps from this

"Music shoots straight to the soul, so it's much more addictive than crack is."

Truth

this shit is fire!

Where have I been?
This is hot;
this is why I love poetry;

He is the truth!
