My People

My People
We got to do better
Not just to keep up
With the Jones’
But do it for self
Aren’t you tired?
Of being a joke
Notice how
They
Only interview the one
That looks like they just
Rolled out of bed
And completely ignore
The one in the suit
That has knowledge floating
Around their head
Don’t tell me
That is how you were raised
Break the cycle
Aim higher
Evolve
Seems like we’re comfortable
Playing the monkey at the circus
And that isn’t disrespect to anyone specific
But if the shoe fits
Then you need to wear it
We need to change
To elevate
Only we
Can fix us
