Grant Park 2008, 100 grand on hand/ holdin’ hands as hope springs eternally across the land/ for which it stands/ change was around the corner/ putting to rest the ghosts of Cabrini and the Horners/ project mourners turned political supporters/ finally progress was moving forward/ then came the screams to close the borders/ as a dose of reality turned into a malice scene/ toppling the balance beam/ exposing the face of inter racial hate/ unemployment rates, new millennium depression and recession/ left people disconnected from the freedoms they invented/ increasing the tension for a scape goat element/ who better than a black president?/ setting the precedent for failure in our psyche/ along with oil pipe dreams/ so America, I ask now/ the ball’s in your hands now/ how will you allow this generation to pass down?/
Rapper. Person.
