​Blacq greatnesses 

By Shah BlacQ
 
I'm overdosed in my blackness 
In Both in quality and quantity 
I find myself too black to ever get equality 
My BlacQ oozes like venom from Spiderman 
Black like the one side of focus hope 
Black like Zach from power rangers 
 
I was to black way before it was cool to be black 
Against Jon b /Ginuwine  
Tyrese /Taye Diggs made it cool to be black 
Black like the target of the police 
Black like the inside of Trump's skull 
My black shows like Shonda Rhimes 
My Black SHOWS like Shonda Rhimes ...I’ll paint your Grey’s Anatomy into BlacQ —No SCANDALS 
 
Black is the color of my true loves hair 
Ima a black star like Talib&mos Def
They wanna cancel our blk like UPN
Black like taking a stand 
Black like taking a knee
Black like lift every voice and sing 
Black like prince Hakeem 
But call me Jaffe Jo
Realize your in presence of a king I am Shah BlacQ 
Now welcome me back
