We ever-so-discreet with this meat

Got a whole lot to lose if paparazzi

Ever shot or shoot we

Meaning me and you

Us together in the lens

My ends would be gone

Just like some dro in the wind

Told da hoe you gonna win

Sho' nuff we gone pretend

To the land of make believe

Now come on and hit this hen

‘Race and racism is a reality that so many of us grow up learning to just deal with. But if we ever hope to move past it, it can’t just be on people of color to deal with it. It’s up to all of us – Black, white, everyone – no matter how well-meaning we think we might be, to do the honest, uncomfortable work of rooting it out. It starts with self-examination and listening to those whose lives are different from our own. It ends with justice, compassion, and empathy that manifests in our lives and on our streets.’ — Michelle Obama
