The Story of Abraham: and the man who holds him
By: Nash
Honest Abe, a complete equal to the enslaved
spent his great days saving the strays
he cared as a brave would though,
the guy only saw ONE horrible show
had his life blown away, just so a storm would grow
though soon, and much after i fear..
rain trickled for years, blacks got attacked and beaten
then the penny was made so they'd relax and believe in ..
this world that they'd bleed in ..what's a struggle, right?
keep it tight, living life.. in torn houses.. fearing whites?!?
without fights for speech, there'd be no talking with pimps
but isn't it OUR fault that the gangsters walk with a limp?
rainwater still sprints and dribbles, there's no riddle
we raped their travels, making an underground grow brittle
today it's a harsh storm, CURRENT poverty causes far more
it's now you all see ..what bus and railroad are for
"find a penny, pick it up ..all day long you'll have good luck"
but when you find it, you find you're stuck in this crude muck
it sucks, and it's worthless ..now is our replacement clear?
couldn't take it out on blacks, so they defaced the penny here
based on shear experience, I’d say the penny is physically dead
I’d rather hold a buck in hand ..than this silly luck in my head
"found a penny on tails today ..so i flipped it for the next finder"
and it left me with not a damn, proving an in-depth reminder
below old and wrecked sidewalks, thousands of Abraham’s die
but above the ground in jars, thousands of them save lives
it crossed their minds, under the surface they began to weep
Abraham still suffers, with nothing Lincoln them to the street
in conclusion, this copper metallic object is stricken to decease
but as long as they save children and brave the poverty
..Abe still breaths
