Gahdamn the police done kicked down our muthafukkin door. Stompin down the hall, snatched out the bed.. GET ON THE FLOOR, GET ON THE FLOOR!! Body laid still as a rock as I glued myself to the bed. Just close your eyes my spirit told me.. you don't need anymore *** ups to the head. I had to be like 8, maybe 9 not really sure of the age. Everything seems to be blurry but the common factor seems to be rage.
I don't kno how we got here, I just know that I felt this pain and if you wanted to survive in this white mans world, you better know how to play the ***in game. Don't ask me why I'm mad or why I barely keep a smile. Stripped me down to nothin & expect me to not act foul.
No longer will I hold my tongue, I've got way too much to say. Ain't no room here for a , but Ima damn sure pave my way!
*** yo feelings, *** yo thoughts bc ain't nobody ever gave a *** about mine. I picked my own self up from the slums & I'll get up every single time. I'll never forget when my 4th grade teacher asked me if my dad was in jail for murder... it seemed the amount of violence in my vocabulary words, terrified her. I guess she figured I had to be influenced in some kind of way, but the answer was no, & that's all I had to say.
You see... my head was ***ed up but we don't get to talk about how we feel. Our mental health doesn't matter, we're suppose to let "Jesus" take the wheel.
I had to learn for myself, we all don't kno how to process those emotions. My people we need some help, I can't be the only rebel outspoken. I need you to love that black, lose the hate, your brother & sister is not your enemy. we were taught this all so wrong. It's time to stand up together, create our own song.
Everybody has a gift, remember what you truly love to do. Despite this cold cruel world, what is it that you really want for you? No matter how low you get, know that you've got the power to get back up and do it all over again. Your single life has so much value. My people... We were born to win!!
I will keep pushin myself, I will keep rising up. I will keep speaking my mind, I do not give a ***!
This cooperate world won't keep me tied down, drained living as a modern day slave. I'm goin after everything I kno I deserve, head up chest out strong and brave. Fear does not exist and the power of my mind will change my world around. For the mind consists of everything, and what I think, I am.
