I – can’t – breathe,
As the air leaves my lungs in such a hurry,
My mind, my soul, my body – shook!!!
Because…,
I – can’t – believe,
We’re fighting to survive against viruses, nature AND human-beings,
I’m tired – tired of fighting, but how can I survive when…,
There’s – no – relief…
In a world where words have more power than actions,
Except in moments when we’re fed up and we start to give them a reaction,
To the injustice against discrimination,
And what they do? They feed us bullshit news as a distraction…
See how easy it is, for human-rights to lose traction…?
But, I hope that you – see,
No longer will we sit back and watch our world become your world,
Talking about land of the free?
Who are you to tell me what’s free when this world also belongs to me?
Yes, ME!
I can see you’re scared because you can no longer put my voice on silent,
So what you do is label me as violent…
But fuck you and your labels,
Too long we’ve been on the wrong side of the table!
Too long we’ve been listening to them preach,
To their masses, to their asses, to their uneducated social media conditioned generation who supports the system that has divided us in classes.
But we’re done describing what the past is,
And we’re done leaving shit pass us…
Our pain, our suffering, our history,
400+ years of slavery,
We’re way past paying unfair taxes!
So NO, I won’t let you keep us down,
Not figuratively, nor physically!
I’ll be damn if I let you break my energy…
So as I stand up and take a deep breath,
I will show you that…
I – WILL – BREATHE!
In this world, MY world,
So when I rise…
I rise with the pain of my ancestors, a fury you DO NOT want to see!
Trust me…
I WILL BREATHE!
