I'm Really Fine!!!

By Alton Pitre

I struggle with staying sane in a world full of insanity

A constant battle of staying in my own lane of vanity

Be humble they say, because pride is a killer

But I already survived the Jungle that kills, now my pride is a healer

How you proud full of bitter? Nigger...

It’s sad all the salt they throw

At my feet that shakes dust that’ll halt your flow

Barriers are merely a figment of our imagination

The same imagination that imagines our pigment to be the reason for their hatred

If I hate it I’m like them but my fire’s a different burn

My butter’s a different churn, A different Eagle you little worms

My brain is different so learn that my cheeks have nowhere else to turn

They like to say I’m mean and hard when really I’m just stern

Really I’m just...durn!! Nah, Really I’m just high

The darnedest thing just dawned on me that Really I’m in my prime

Intellectually inclined and Really spiritually sublime

Been woke to the bullshit so I guess mentally I’m Really fine!!
