Not realizing how bad it was
Nor taking a moment for a pause
For not understanding who all it hurt
Not just the people, but the community as a whole
My people, I say to you
Don’t look at your race or your hue
It don’t matter who you are
Black, Latino, Sunni, Shia
At the end of the day we are all human too
And everyone has the right to respect not only a few
Don’t take more than two seconds to convey
Convey what you say?
I say the message to reflect
And not be wrecked
Yet here we are
Standing loud and proud
In the year 2020
Where our visions ain’t getting clear
And we still struggle to deal
Not making any sense
And calling out the offense
Say, you do you, I do me
Easy as that, like one two three
Our knowledge and wisdom
Being misused and misguided
This hate that we create
Is for what, for who?
For at the end of the day it ain’t up to you, nor me
But up to God, the Knower of All
And last time I checked that wasn’t you
So hold your tongue and watch your words
For who knows what might spew
Take a step for what might breakthrough
But for now, I bid you adieu
