Hey
Um I’m calling because I wanted to check in on you
You know
With everything going on
The protests
The riots
The looting, shooting
The whole thing really
It’s got me scared like
I don’t understand why I gotta fight
For the right to survive
In a world designed to oppress
I’m depressed
The next time someone ask me
“Hey, how are you?”
Well
Where can I begin?
There’s a whole g#dd#mn list
Oh
Mind in circles constant because of the revolutions
Many dreams, Doctor King, now they getting lucid
Truth and teary eyes exactly what my voice producing
Hearing George shout out Mama made me really lose it
Like imagine if my son calling out my name
And I’m heaven already but still I feel the pain
sh#t would make me tear up, really want to gear up
Vocal on the protests but you silent when my tears up
Funny when we dying this sh#t is just not your business
But now the protest rising and you the biggest of critics
I can’t believe that, but my hope is on the people
Majority Flooring to see the day we truly equal
To change the nation, it’s a long ride
It ain’t something I’m doing part-time
Peace and prosperity seeming like they a far cry
They were thinking the same then they stopped apartheid
I don’t understand why I gotta fight
For the right to survive
In a world designed to oppress
I’m depressed
The next time someone ask me
“Hey, how are you?”
Well
Where can I begin?
There’s a whole g#dd#mn list
Oh
The world is upside down
And in an upside world
I’m still oppressed
Now tell me how does that make sense
Rest in peace Martin Luther King
I’m tryna fulfill your dream
With the seed you left for society
And that’s the tea like Boston
People are arguing
Those who knew me for my existence ain’t fighting for my existence
Look me in the eyes and tell me how that makes sense
Like b#tch
I don’t understand why I gotta fight
For the right to survive
In a world designed to oppress
I’m depressed
The next time someone ask me
“Hey, how are you?”
Well
Where can I begin?
There’s a whole g#dd#mn list
Oh
Well, um
I’m happy to hear you’re coping at least
Um
But I just wanted to say that I love you so much
I really do
