Black Awakenings

They said that I would



not die



"Adamant Negro", they called me



They said I would not die



They had compared me



to a roach



"Adamant Negro", they called me



They compared me to a roach



I KILLED THE ROACH



They said I would not die



Genesii



Small Pox - Cocaine



Syphilis - Crack



Herpes - Aids



But I would not die



Being the Adamant I...



That's' when they came



out with Formula 'X'



Disguised as Formula '44'



Custom-mixed Education



to rape my heart



But I would not die



Being the Adamant I



As their plans fell apart...



Genesii



Unemployment - Dream Altercation



Welfare Lines - Lower Education



Dream Rape - Mind Control



But I would not die



Being the Adamant I



I KILLED THE ROACH



Oh,Oh - New approach



Genesii



Music Infiltration



Poison T.V.



Positive Image Degradation



Experimental Drug



"Ice" filled I.V.

Genocide



But not I



Being the Adamant I



I KILLED THE ROACH



Stomped out his parade



selling me his piss



as lemonade



Though your tongue



be forked



your Arcade of illusions



many still



look into your House of



Mirrors - Gaze



upon your reflection



acknowledge your nightmare



submit or die



But not I



Being the Adamant I


Author's Notes/Comments: 

Genisii-pronounced (gen-sigh); as to cause pause in the gene pool
a break in kenetic energy
