I am incognegro
the invisible superhero
here I come to save the day
up up up & away
I am strong enough to
build a country with my
big ol'hands
just take a look at what
I did with Amerika's land
I am faster than 3
German Shepards at the
heels of my feet
my hearing is keen enough
to dicipher the word on
the street
I even got more pound than an
Elvis Presley stolen beat
& I be damned, I've never
known the meaning of defeat
I am incognegro the invisible
superhero
My back carries so many scars
How many? Count the number of
grassblades in your backyard
you still won't comprehend
how far
I have come
in my fight for
freedom
I am incognegro the invisible
superhero
it is because of my talented feet
and my skilled hands
you stayed glued to the tube
and fill stadium stands
it is because I do what I do
the new building on campus is erected
and named after you
See what you don't understand is
I still remain to be seen
recognize me muthafucka
I ain't no fuck'n feen
or a drug dealer
or an auto stealer
or the cat at yo'back
at the money machine
and I ain't in no gang just
cuz I run wit a team
I am incognegro the invisible superhero
I am Sourjourner
with a twist of Nat Turner
I be Martin 10 times blessed
with the gall & balls of Malcolm X
phonetically divine like Maya A.
pocket with a grip like Oprah PAID
Superman don't got shit on me
no way in hell he could've endured
my history
he a punk anyway get weak from a
little green rock
he couldn't handle the scars
I got
or the knots
from the rocks
thrown upside my head
yeah, sure, I should be
dead
but I'm not
cuz I got
the hops
to stay ontop
Thats why I will press on and
continue to do what I do
because one day someone will
tell the truth
about how this land is really
mine
because it was built with my
blood and my time
but until then I will continue
to fight and do what is right
and liberate my people with justice
in sight
now stand back as I prepare to go
I mean flow
as incognegro the invisible superhero
Very powerful.
I've spent the whole morning reading some of your poems...you write with so much emotion and such honesty...it's refreshing and it's rare. I know here you are writing for many but it just seems so strikingly different to how I would imagine you...incognito and invisible...the honesty and truth in your words could make you visible to millions.
Excellent content, geat rythm. I could hear it, feel it, see it. This is one of my favourites. :) You truly have a God given gift.
