You may have killed off his ancestors and slandered his demeanor, but guess what? Those ancestors who have been slain were reincarnated to give you their truths in the form of poetry. Black is back!

      Eyez of Lyfe - Khali Raymond

      The Ghetto, An Undercover Zoo

      Welcome to the ghetto, ya’ll.

      Here is where the savages

      Gather and galore.

      The killers running through the blocks, holding shit down.

      My city feels like a war zone

      Because they got me holed up

      In a halfway abandoned building.

      The big trees, covered with spray paint.

      Windows smashed out.

      The vines, all the sneakers

      Tied onto the power lines.

      Tarzan running through the Bricks

      With a nine in his right hand.

      Crackheads swinging from each tree to the next—

      tryna’ get their next hit.

      Why is it that there’s all these scavengers

      Looking for someone to pickpocket?

      I look to my left, I look to my right

      The air is filled with the aroma of Newports and gunsmoke.

      The stampede is coming, the boys in blue.

      Everyone taking cover from all directions.

      Raking leaves, those are dead bodies in the streets.

      All these villages

      Represent different sets of my hood.

      These huts.

      The dens filled with paraphernalia

      Guns, stress, and abuse

      And where’s the water?

      The Mason/Dixon of my neighborhood

      Is the poor and dingy being segregated

      From the rich and classy.

      Do you know what the ghetto is in disguise?

      It’s an undercover zoo.

      Bloody Mary

      Bloody Mary, Bloody
