Members of the LGBTQ have hijacked the struggle of the American Negro in the United States
Hijacked

This war mo den han fo' hunnid years old
Stories in the dark and truths untold
Gays and women fill the role
Of the oppressed, the raped, the dead, and the sold

Die-ins; blocking streets
Blamin oil from dead meats
Ain't nothin' on what I saw
Oppressession pressed delete

On countless lives from Africa an' on
Extinguishing lives of the father, the wife, the daughter, the son
The brother the sister. Heck everyone
Extended suffering from the journey begun

'Merica aint moved on from its hateful ways
Lovin the negro through its hateful gaze
In movies in stories and all white man's plays
Seein' our struggles replaced by those of softies and gays

Now everyone's offended
Girls just complain about what the men did
After the constitution had done been amended
The black American't plight; suspended

Different opinions? Unfriended
My place in history? Upended
And now you say gay is the new black?
Well maybe not you; but women who used to be men did

Now you want it all
Your own place in history with no downfall
How you gon' ask for peace
When y'all started the brawl?

My story aint done bein told, butchu wanna be the hero
Black Lives Matter next to all lives matter
Ain't the same as "shut up negro"
My shot's contested. You've got a free throw

G'wan head then child.
Put yo struggle on blast
Ya future is harder than your past
Nowadays it seems like white guys finish last
