Act III: The Prominent
Lyrics
If I told you all the truth do you think I would die
Do you believe what's on the news or do you see the lies
I hear the cries of a mother and her beaten child
Rivers of blood have been flowing like the river Nile
You can lose your mind
But Ima touch the sky
I'm a servant to my GOD a servant to Christ
And I just give this shit my all I give it my life
I don't believe in holding guns or taking a life
But I believe if you do wrong then you can do right
Nothing left when you making the last turns of you life
Facing death is an event that's assured in your life
Right
Now someone tell me why we protesting Coronavirus
Senselessly promoting violence
People acting like they've never even know a problem
Well I'm about to solve em
I'm screaming Black Lives Matter
And Karen's out of pocket
But If I raise my voice they'll do me in like A$AP Rocky
Who do you look up to and why
I've been trying to look up to myself
Honestly recently
Because I realized if I always look up to other people that kind of means I'm down
Always trying to get somewhere else
So I've been really trying to find reasons to admire myself and find reasons to not admire myself
And that way I can keep looking up and keep progressing
And going forward and start to really see myself and everchanging
Yeah, nobody wanna talk about it
I guess we'd rather copy than retweet
I think they'd rather be me than see me shine
Another work of art on my screen
Underpaid you made a dollar on my dime
Feel like I'm running out of time
I really had the narrative
I can't breathe or do my time for pushing clariton
Throw away the key
Break a rip to make my own
Looking in the mirror
Everything I say is stone
So I watch it all shatter
Yeah I've seen the blood splatter
Does my black life matter
If the problems in the batter
We just watch it bake
Compliments to Sallie Mae
Dessert on my dinner plate
Can't affort to get the steak
Why we call it devil's cake
Yeah it's more than just a name
Maybe I just need a change
400 years a slave but can't put that on my resume
My name is Benet Abuka Okinumi
I think deserves life
Everyone deserves a second chance
And every day is a new start
I deserve human rights because I'm a human being
