Words flow like Ebonics <br />You know, you know <br />That beat popping <br />Rhythmic sound of the ghetto— <br /> <br />Cognitive thought <br />Verbalize within the heartbeat <br />Of the city <br />Children voices-echoes <br />Sounds of spoken-word— <br /> <br />Our thoughts <br />Implanted in oral history— <br />History of revolutionaries <br />Freedom speakers <br />Breaking down cultural barriers— <br /> <br />Words flow like Ebonics <br />You know, you know <br />Gangster rappers-street talkers <br />Translating the agony of the city— <br /> <br />City slum dwellers <br />Seeking voices of advocacy <br />For the representation of diplomacy <br />Words of armor will protect thee— <br /> <br />So in the end <br />Remember this <br />Street talking-gangster rapping <br />Weapons of revolutionary thought <br />Created vices to be taught— <br /> <br />Words flow like Ebonics <br />You know, you know! <br /> <br />Written by <br /> Gregory Upshaw (gshaw57)<br /><br />Gregory (gshaw57) Upshaw<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/words-flow-like-ebonics/
