The Value Of Our Lives
It’s workin how it’s sposed
A broken system doesn’t exist
Only 1 that functions as it was designed
In times of despair it’s hard to find
The answer for You & I
More trauma for your eyes
Another chance
For you to be desensitized
I urge us to unify
More to find and everything to gain
Stand as a Pilar of change
Make shifts in your bloodline Understand your blackness
Isn’t a monolith
Protest
Educate
Inform
Heal
It’s all radical
It’s all valuable
Don’t let them put a dolla
On black bodies
Rejoice!
Your joy is a deafening scream to those Who uphold destruction
Smile with your gold teeth
Your spirit is 1 worthy of admiration
Refuse validation from ones who leak Crocodile tears
Instead pour into your peers
Be the crutch your sister needs
The ear your brother pleads for
Your belief could move mountains
A broken system doesn’t exist
Perfectly equipped for a repeat and rinse
Another day, same timeline
Designed to keep you behind
Though understandable, resist!
Exercise those gifts
Smile with your gold teeth
No force is stronger than you & me
No love is greater than what you give
In the face of fear have faith
You are the greatest curse breaker
My favorite loop stopper
Continue to move righteous
Though treated like a dime a dozen
The value of your black life
Is priceless
