History Poem by Faduma Fiasco

‘ 08 wasnt so great
they say it was the year of the hate
where there was haters everywhere you go
where they’d be on ya jock and mess up ya flow
08 wasnt also too great
they say it was the year of the heart break
where the people you gave your heart to ended up being fake
where you thought they were perfect but had to face the lie
you’ve been telling yourself but you would never cry
808’s and hearbreak was the soundrack to this time
where Kanye states this problem in each and every rhyme
soon enough you were over it and wouldnt shed a single tear
and couldnt wait till the end of the year
the only thing i could tell you is make a new years resolution
to make better choices in the future
we are only human and make mistakes
but lets hope to do better than we diid in 08
Mr. bush has failed us but we are heaven sent
cuz finally we have a black president
the new year is near and everything will be fine
history will be made january 20th 2009
