Attention (BJ's Challenge: Universe)

Liars and schemers and haters, they are
Dancing puppets and coons, and fools, they star
When will we get it together and realize what's wrong
Instead of whining, and crying, singing the same old sad song

The rumors and gossip that's spreading aren't true
Yet we eat it like grandma's hearty country beef stew.
I'm tired of deceitful and malicious attacks
Unwarranted degradation and mistreatment of (blacks)

You use us for money and personal gains
Yet the leader of this lynch mob has a ghetto black name
Don't blame anyone else because this is your fault
Miseducation, perpetuating...you have been bought

Sell out..far from it but oracle soon approaching
Take it back to the homeland, my griot's been coaching
Me on how to rise above all this animosity
And anarchy, and calamity, o, "Mercy, Mercy Me"

You've raped these people and the land of its riches
You're nothing but greedy, demonic, 6-headed (witches)
We've followed your lead and danced in your halls
Now, we're pregnant and blind listening out for your calls

At the brink of extinction, I now know who to trust
We have to stop fighting because it begins and ends with us.

Mid-Day Song Zuning

I say I want to know you better
But can I without your relationship being severed?
I can tell in your eyes when were glancing
That it's me that you want to be romancing
This temptation, too strong for me to handle
Girl, your heart is the flame and my hand, the candle
Though, I want to keep you warm throughout the night
If we act, then it would never become right
So, the next time you pass me by
Just keep walking, don't even say "Hi"
Because the passion I have for you is untamed
And if you acknowledge me, I'll be to blame.
