Yes I’m Black and I Don’t Forgive You
An ode to American hypocrisy
Do you know why America tells Black people to forgive?
So they can remain comfortable. Their idea of live and let live.
White supremacy doesn’t tell us to forgive because it’s our holy mission.
They tell us to forgive so we can remain in submission.
They tell us to forgive, not to get on the right track.
They tell us to forgive so that we may never fight back.
They say we idolize race, but we don’t. We just see it and show it.
These fake Christians idolize race and don’t even know it.
The way they tell Black people to forgive is hypocritical and fake.
The fact that we believed them was our biggest mistake.
I believe in forgiveness, but only the right kind.
Not the false white supremacy version meant to keep Black people in line.
These Christian nationalists don’t love the Lord. They love false idols.
That’s the whole reason why they cherry pick with verses from the Bible.
I don’t take advice on forgiveness from non-forgiving enemies.
Their fake beliefs are just extensions of American identity.
The same Christians who tell us that fighting back isn’t nice
Are the same hypocrites not living by their own advice.
Spewing rhetoric you don’t live by, which will out live you.
Yes I am Black and NO I don’t forgive you.
I will fight for what’s mine. What’s rightfully mine.
And the man upstairs will bring the right judgment in time.
