A Milli

By: Ace Hilliard

A milli, A milli, A milli

A milli-on stereo types going through there minds

A milli, A milli, A milli

A milli-on officers waiting for that one sign

To go and arrest

That one minority brother

That's standin in line

To go by that fresh wine from the grape vine

Not thinking he has money in his pocket because of the clothes he is wearing.

But thinkin as soon as he picks it up he's going to run out the door back to his selling,

His lying, cheating, and stealing

Already havin him characterized in a milli-on categories

Because he

We

Are minorities

And us minorities

Don't have money or an education

Jus enough will to get up everyday and have

Drunken drug fests and celebrations     

As they sit and they wait

And they sit and they wait

For us to make the wrong move

We surpass them

We win and they lose

Where, yes, the young brother

 walking down the street

Wit his pants at his knees

Sunglasses big as his face

Where you begin to think that he is a disgrace

He is in his last year of college,

Getting ready to start a job

That will on the future save your life.

That girl over there,

Wit the clothes on so tight

Talking to a group of boys

Laughing, dancing, making a bunch of noise

Has already finished college

And when you walk into your new therapists' office on Monday,

She will be the one that listen to you talking

So go ahead, sit and wait

And see where that leads you

Yes we are minorities

But we come in majorities

Displayin, Not playin

Fightin back

Not with our fists

Not wit our gats

But with our minds

But haters and oppressors, we still love you

Because without you there will be no us

Oppressors are the foundation to everything and everyone great

The ones that said we couldn't and can't

But we did and done

New generation

Rising above the expectations

Leaving my fellow oppressors without explanations
