The People of the Book

"The People of the Book."

When you see stuff like Hot Ghetto Mess and You
Know You're Dead Azz Wrong you shake your head.
You see people who have fallen to their lowest point
you see people who can be viewed as the walking dead.
You see the disgrace and the shame of a people who
are not just Black when you take a hard look.
What you see are the descendants of Kings and Queens
a Royal bloodline they are the people of the Book.
The book I'm talking about are The Scriptures and I'm
not talking about Gentiles who many believe they are today.
In many Churches they were taught this lie miseducated
but their true identity by the Gentiles was taken away.
When you don't know who you are you're lost
and the so-called African Americans are messed up so.
Yah Segregated His people from those who worshiped
strange gods Integrating is wrong as Scriptures show.
All integration brought us was self destruction through
self hatred and we're far worse now than in slavery.
Sure we have things but as a people we are crumbling
we Love the Gentiles and hate each other tremendously.
We are our own worst enemy and we are the people
that Yah chose from among all the people He created.
Yet we act as if satan created us and we're his seed
because a Black man's face by his own here is hated.
Yah said that our leaders lead us astray the Politicians
and the Preachers use the people to enrich themselves too.
Our people are so twisted that those who have things
look down on those who don't, and you know it's true.
They even move out neighborhoods to live among the
Gentiles so they won't have to live near their own.
But Yah is going to soon burst their bubble when He
brings them to ruin and make His name known.
What is happening to the people of the Book was destined
when they chose not the Blessing but the Curses.
You need to read the book of Deuteronomy chapter 28
read about your ancestors in these verses.
Next time you see our people behaving in a degrading
manner just know they're playing out their part spiritually.
The murders, the mayhem, our self hatred are because we
chose satan over Yah, until we repent this is how it's going to be.
