The New Harlemite
 
 
Anglo- Saxon; White. The new Harlemite;
wants special privileges and thinks he's right.
Midtown; he can't afford to pay more.
Wants to bring the pooch in the store.
Park Avenue; Central Park East and West won't have them. They're Blue Bloods down there; the chances are slim for him. He's for White Power;
wants extended store hours. Gourmet food; you to put up with his moods. He makes remarks like "This is Harlem". Doesn't it make you want to smack him?
They're up and in your personal space. Handy; carrying a can of mace.
The Store Manager puts up with it. Their incessant tantrums; fits.
While others eek out a living; to no one their giving. No Kidding.
There's an aire of snootiness; even among the toothless.
Referring to them; their homeless.
Five decades earlier; the new Harlemite, subscribed to White Flight. Now they can't get enough of you.
The plan to get rid of you; and Hispanics from East Harlem. Up there's a war. Staged protests by the minority poor.
The rents are too high and keeps rising. That's not surprising.
Yo so listen Son; your problems have just begun.

Dark Berry!
 
Light skinned; Lighter huges.
That's what the dudes want to do. They want to screw.
All those others; the brothers want.
They don't want us; I look on in disgust.
What the hells wrong with us?
In God we trust.
They used to be driven by the butt; the bust.
They say that we're too loud; that we cuss.
What the xxxx is wrong with us?
It's time for the blame game. Those nasty names.
The games that the brothers play.
In no way am I a Male Basher; Trash Talker.
But now let's face it. It's based on those White Racists.
They don't want us unified. They'd prefer Apartheid.
Yes we sisters are under attack; for what we lack.
Just too much Melanin; that is color in our skin.
Like I said; What's the xxxx wrong with us?
We're prepared to fight back; smack back those Whites, Lights and Light Hues that the brothers choose.
They're treated like royality; Brother look at me.
"The darker the berry; the sweeter the juice".
I'd rather fight than which. What the xxxx is this?
P. Ditty (Last Night) pined over one of them; then storked them.
What the hells wrong with him? Damn.
Yo did you see that video? I don't know....
