not really black(sarcastic poem)

by Twan - Aries

are you saying that i want to be white?? maybe i do
i don't posture, i don't use much slang, i don't really like rap
i don't dig  "ho's" i don't call people niggas, and so on, and so on...

maybe i'm not black because i like metallica and smashing pumpkins instead of jay-z and ja rule
and i think its all bullshit anyway

maybe i'm not black because i like baseball more than football or basketball
and that makes me white, right??

maybe i'm not black because i've dated latino and white men more than black ones
that is bullshit

maybe i'm not black because i like so-called "white" music
so rap is "black" music, right??

maybe i want to be a black redneck living in some godforsaken hole outside of austin ,texas
maybe i want to be eaten alive by a giant scorpion and a black tarantula

maybe i'm not black because i can spell "tarantula"
thats not being black, thats being stupid

maybe i'm not black because i'm not real
and the same people who say i'm not real always end up doing prison sentences
gee, i wonder why.

so i'm not black
but i sure in hell am chocolate brown!!
