The front page of my lobe 
Loves the thought  of that 
Anal probe. 
I've sold my soul
For stories more potent. 
I search the web
To find such excitement. 
Seems that HE  has missed another indictment. 
It excites u.s. 
Cuz we were born perverted. 
This poverty porn
Yea that's what they call it. 
Any media, making every dollar in america
It seems
With every cock, aim, to please
Another black woman on her knees
Another knee on her neck, 
Come another shot to the chest
Cuz the gang-bang
For red, white, and blue. 

Don't worry, 
My brothers was never left out too. 
Arms around the neck
Until you can't breath 
the sound of you gasp for breath 
Oxygen escaping from your chest
Taking back shots until your spinal tapped out
It excites u.s. 
Cuz we were born perverted. 
This poverty porn
Yea that's what they call it. 
Any media, making every dollar in america
Of the body of Erika, or Trayvon 
Or who ever, just type in this blank form. 
A list of actors and actresses 
Students, ex police, advocates
Mothers, fathers, sisters, daughters, 
Brothers, uncles, grandpa, grandma. 

To them. 
To me.
Our lives just comes and goes. 
Countless generations 
Lives for the taking
Watching masters debating
On what qualifies
As homicide in the Bluest eye. 
As bodies are pimped on the screen, 
It excites to share the viral scene. 

My P-O-V
Just shows I'm a P. O. E
From this P. P 
My Point of view 
Just shows I'm a I'm a product of Environments. 
From this Poverty porn, 
Because it spreads like a virus. 
It's in our faces 
N some still deny this. 
Yet we're all enticed.. 
Desensitized 
Rationalize 
Pleasure, pain, and hurt
Inner city fetishes of
EBT trap Queens, 
Section 80 bootleg mixtapes, 
Reality check 
Hustling heroin for dinner plates, 
It's only an epidemic in suburbia 
Pills and potions are more likely to murder ya
But step into a bad town and black skin 
See how long you'll last 
As 6 year Olds play GTA 
Praise every First, Third, and Sunday
As I drown my woes in kool aid
Cuz we are Born in perversion. 
I mourn this incursion, 
As I kill my private browsing.
