I suppose that your knowledge of the situation of my brethren
Is too extensive to need a recital here
Neither shall I presume to prescribe methods by which they may be relieved
Otherwise than by recommending to you and all others
To wean yourselves from these narrow prejudices
Which you have imbibed with respect to them

(Hey Spellz you made that beat?)
The trailblazer, the star gazer
The mathematician who can add up a star's path with hard data
The no calculator user no cap addition
The brain wave addition doer the other proofs on paper
The watch taker apart breaker, the gear learner
Turnt clock maker, the big box gear merger
The bee observer, the learner of the Queen bee and her bee workers
The honey and the whole bee purpose
The 17 year cycle locust tree searcher
The letter writer to Thomas J
Asking him why we stay getting killed and murdered in the southern states
The never should have asked that asker, my mistake
I never should have asked that crack
Hold up I'm showing my restraint
Had me thinking of Mama's rake
All the mamas who had to work estates
Work and bake
Work outside then inside had to work with steak
Not for her to consume only master's plate
Smiled on the outside but knew the smirk was fake
Past drama that got some other mamas hurt and raped
The answer getter, the handsome mr
The 1700s born no camera picture mr
Your look how you come out from the portrait get ya
You ain't draw me right get out don't let the door end hit ya
The genius the one who has the vision
The he's too good at math they have suspicion, his math is different
He must be half student and half magician
How he put all them numbers in that position
The slave abolition, the irrigation system maker
Giving plants water for ammunition, not a quaker
The writer of almanacs, the city surveyor and all of that
L'Enfant left the city don't call him back
The Ellicott adviser, the non telepathic but photographic memorizer
The old Macgyver
The fine fabric dresser three piece coat rocker
The intelligent smart speaker like he quote oprah
The baltimore raised, the baltimorean
The I was here before Ray Lewis brought the glory in
The engineer, who could take mandalorian metal and probably make a Delorean
The self taught historian
The inventor who comes up with ideas to lure me in
The eclipse predictor
The big nose and big lips he's black depicter
The no wife getter
The he's too picky just to pick one picker
To involved in my studies I can't get back with ya
To busy even to sit back and sip that wit ya
I gotta go change the world but I'm a get back wit cha
