3. Dalit

Dalit by Professor A.L.I.

I’m a Dalit, you’re a dalit, who’s a dalit?

I’m a Stickup kid and possess ur stolen wallet

No possessions passed, cuz they stole our cottage

Livin in a shanty shack, no cords, no wattage

No college, a bandit with misinformation

Mis-education, branded cuz I missed information

And I’m waitin’, stuck within this class simulation

Social pyramid station, while I have no nation

Facin’ stair case racin’ with my ashen face

Chasin racists, faceless, but always left in place

Facelifts, expensive, A Dalit has no choice

Once a Dalit always Dalit, do you hear my voice?

Rejoice, Buddha stated, heres my noble truth

Buddhist noose us, so we blew up Buddha’s broken tooth

A nation lost, another paul bogle truce

Global troops, so I hijacked this vocal booth

 

Do I got that good hair, breathing that that good air

Haters beware, do cats in your hood care?

Global ghetto citizens, Bantustan denizens

Dalits anyone in penal system or prison and

Shadow lurkers, men invisible like Ellison

Wheres ur foreign aid? Why are you so hesitant?

White house residents, so called black president

Steer the ship to us, instead of trying to jettison

Your surplus food into the see, Dalit medicine

Our power’s off, your  lights turn on like edison

Were venison in headlights of leviathan, stressed

Meat for the beast? Destroy the meek, whats next

They consume our flesh, that the devil has blessed

Lightness intermeshed from how these devils had sexed

Grandmothers of ours, and our ancestors vexed

& a bullet proof vest, cuz the truth in our chests
