Through the Eyes of a Stranger

Through the Eyes of a Stranger

The clear blue sky arises above me
sets me free of all insecurities
slowly walking inside myself
I pause to catch my breath
thinking back to the life I saw
Through the Eyes of a Stranger

Let's see if you can flow with me
as far as my mind will let me flee
born in 73 on 21st Street
on loan by two parents whose income
put us as a middle class family
coulda fooled me

Opening our front door
capturing all public negativities
swarming rapidly to manipulate an innocent mind
that would be me
just close your eyes and imagine what I've seen

Young mothers givin birth
at the tender age of thirteen
thinkin about it makes me sick
til fire regurgitates from my soul
the chain continues goin untold
uneducated sisters captured by society’s
version of beauty
scarred esophagus from ferocious fingertips
just to fit into the televised dream of a size 2
Baby Phat jean
Through the Eyes of a Stranger

Younger and younger they're bred in the hood
can't even produce a full grown bush
talkin bout I got the look
need to pick up a book
mastering the technique of givin brains
from the local drug dealer
whose father drove him insane
Bastard-leavin black eye after black eye
not knowing he felt her pain
sting of the slap
ringing in her ears
coldness of the floor she hit
to give her many busted lips
which were once kissable pillows of love

First born seed watching with tears subdued within
anger building so strong it didn't take him long to
c*ck that trigger
aim at that nig*er
you figure
Through the Eyes of a Stranger

Heated ejaculation made a penetration
demolishing a family's pain
But
evolution of a demon with no respect
prevailed and reigned
relieving his fury by prying on
adolescent dames
hidin the fact
that he'd rather pop the neighborhood cat
slash male hood rat
lets acknowledge him as Jamal
behind closed doors, Jamillah
runnin around bussin caps off
at everyone in sight
too much of a fag
dressin in drag
can't bare the dare of
a one-on-one tag
ridin around in a stolen lex coupe
wit his ashy azz
Through the Eyes of a Stranger

Let's switch the scene
lay focus on the prostitute fiends
struttin around with bootie shorts and
a dirty wife beater
shivering in zero below degrees
on bended knees
suckin c*ck for that five minute rock
icicle snot of venom from within him
seepin down their face
leavin traces of death
for the v.i.c.
victim that is
sores around their grill
smiling with missin teeth
as if no one knows the deal
always frontin like
"I keeps it real"

Face shrunkin in as if
they never had a meal
here's food for thought
these cats are actually givin their funds
to a broke azz pimp
who was repeatedly molested
by his mother's brother
we'll call him uncle Tim
being stroked in and out of
as if he was actually a girlfriend
maturing with suicidal tendencies
murderous thoughts towards his own family
wouldn't bear children for fear of
his nightmares repeating themselves
but in reality
among his seeds
Damn...
imagine for one moment
that you were in anyone of
these
molestative
aids providing
homosexual
mental
physical
emotional
abusive scenes
more than half of you
know what I mean
