Black Mindset on Disability
The Black Mindset on Disability
Right down the middle
Causing confusion in blood puddles
From our own Black peoples
Black outs like Harried Tubman’s seizures
Don’t see him or her
Split into two
Like a Black blind man howling his Blues
We’ve a lot to lose
Can’t comprehend, who are you
The Black mindset on disability
Exited us from the Black community
Krip-Hop helping to decolonize
Take out that axe so you can realize
We have been colonized
Looking through slave masters’ eyes
Not even double consciousness
But we are definitely nauseous
Back to our Black disabled ancestors for confidence
Beginning the healing
That will open up for truth telling
To reshape the Black mindset
Take out the axe to reset
Two half’s coming together
To reveal our Black disabled brothers and sisters
Throughout the African diaspora
Now you can see all of me, hallelujah
Blind Blues mixed with gospel
welcome back in the church
Let’s do some research
We’ve been here
Sitting on the porch
Waiting for you to come forth
Healing the Black mindset
On you mark get set
Place your bets
We can take out that axe
To build a community
With a new vocabulary
Coming from Leroy’s dissertation
On Krip-Hop Nation theory
From back in the day to today
You hear what I say
With your new mindset
You will understand our liberation
In a bluesy hip-hop beat
Coming from DJ Duma’s feat
Welcome to Krip-Hop Nation
