Neo Negus Productions

The blind stares
of a million pairs of eyes
Lookin' hard but won't realize
that they will never see
this version of what they've
depicted people like me
to be…
Far removed from the stereotypes
we fought to smite, 
And enlight those to the pain
of being too polite
when asking too much
of those different from us
to do what's right,
only to be diminished
before I could even
reach the line at the finish?
Do you even listen
to the excuses we've been given?
Or does it go over your head
because you only want
whatever you aren't getting?
Brother Malcolm taught us to,
"Defend Our Freedom By Any Means Necessary"
So why 
long after he died,
does he get his flowers
from people that defend the right
to take away our freedoms by any means?
And at age 39 
I have to damn near break my back
tear my torso in two
for an opportunity to be seen as equals
among the same dudes
my age and still get abused 
by privileged muthaf****s
that get to eat from my food
and tell me it's a part of paying dues.
I'm too old for misdirection
Too educated for the miseducation
This isn't my pride talking
This is my manifestation.
I WILL be one of the most successful
Filmmakers, Actors & Entrepreneurs 
In The World 
Before I Ever Leave Earth.
The Last Shall Be First
My Flowers Will Overflow 
Long Before I Go
But Also Before I Leave
I Will Be One Of The Most Respected 
Individuals In My Industry
And I Am Willing To Die 
Defending My Destiny
Or Go Down Fighting For It
By Any Means Necessary.
