Mixed Feelings - Logic
I am not a poet I am just a designer of words
Architecting sentences the way I form and merge
Paragraphs together that force MC's to submerge
With an urge to break free of this bi racial jail cell
Feast on my memories please come and taste this
Papa was a black man mama was a racist
Growing up she called me ni**a kids called me cracker
While the whites got whiter and the blacks got blacker
I was hurting doing everything I can
Percieved as a white boy with the soul of a black man
God damn looking up to Malcolm X
Studying his speeches underlining text
How can I be white devil if my parents had sex
Cos I'm black and I'm white
And I'm proud of every word that I recite
I know my roots I know my past
I know the issue of my race ain't gonna last
Yo we all breathe the same air and bleed the same blood
And when we die the same ditch gets dug
I still have a dream
It is a dream deeply rooted in the American dream
That one day this nation will rise up
Live out the true meaning of its creed
We hold these truths to be self evident
That all men are created equal
