I ask for your ID
when you pay by credit
you act fresh off the boat
Simply put you ask me
an offensive question
is it because I'm black
It is because in fact
you are privileged you ask
not because you feel free
Truthfully you are vain
an egotist with friends
trying to get my goat
Because you appear weak
with total disrespect
in my eyes you are lost
Endlessly humorous
this question you must ask
as if slaves weren't as whipped
Careful as you stumble
downstairs you ugly drunk
were you not born to stink
Answers to your question
are infinite with praise
for those who watch your back
Umbrella ancestors
who cover you in rain
who follow in rough seas
Struggles for civil rights
for you to ask questions
were their problems to solve
Exactly what do you
plan to do to achieve
such greatness at what cost
I question your intent
as you enter to drink
watch out you may get tripped
Mistakenly in fact
by hubris your own pride
flat on your face you think
Because you are black facts
do not pertain to you
but you are wrong you shout
Loudly in a cavern
I am the only black
man who asks the question
Arguably you're great
because you're simply blind
to my sense of resolve
Call me a company
stooge if it makes you feel
human without a doubt
Karma waits to recall
your memory you fall
on swords by suggestion
