21. Rich Niggaz

(Poem)

Many people have 10 homes.
610, 042 people in America do not have 1.
Each year 3.5 million experience homelessness each year.
100 million people in the world do not have a home. 
Most are women and children. 
Do not judge me for being blessed
Judge me for not sharing my blessings
"Only God can judge me"
Quite the contrary.
Anyone can judge me, but only God's judgement matters.
I wonder what he will say when we become face to face and I tell him I had 10 million dollars and met 10 nba ballers
Thank you for my very nice cars
And the private jet I have 
Thank you for helping me be a star
And for the TV set I have
Which is when he will look to me and say 
What about the family I gave you 
Or the fact you even have one home
So many can only roam 
And here you are with multiple cars
While millions of my other children are addicted to bars
They were never introduced to me
Because you advertised to television
And they did not have one
Because you had a show yes you did 
But how could they see it
You spoke to the ones who already had enough
While they watched they're dreams disappear 
So who will reach out to those of my children 
While you are busy paying for someone to clean your houses
I have written it is harder for a camel to get through the eye of a needle
Then a rich man to make it into my kingdom
The woman was blessed because all she had was perfume
And she poured it on my feet 
While you spray yourself with wealth
And the way you've portrayed me stinks
Who helps my children in the ghettos
While you're avoiding the hoods
Who is helping my children in India
The ones who are misunderstood 
Being persecuted for their faith in me
As you continued making your show
Will you be able to enter my kingdom?
The world will never know. 

So I say give back what you receive
Give a crazy love to those in need
The ones who rely on shade from trees
Who do not have a car to pay a fee
Or any place to catch Z's
Live humbly as I did
When I sent my son to save you 
give them 50 dollars 
When you only have fifty 3
Give up the life of the worldly
Only then will a rich man please me.
