Music (PM)
music
music inspires us
it reignites the fire in us
it transcends race
it tiptoes past culture
it makes us forget our virtues
music is to supposed to inspire
instead its added fuel to the fire
black boys not going any higher
when the status-quo is 223s and trees
when the art is telling us that the life we're living ain't free
the truth is loss of soul comes with a fee
while white politicians look at black youth with glee
no longer do they have to apartheid or genocide
when we're doing it to ourselves
body's stacked in droves
because of greediness and loathe
hate in our communities, division
blue vs red, your side, my side fatal collision
many fail to understand the human condition
when i was a kid i listened to music and wished my hair was fine like justin bieber's
preconditioned to hate oneself
as a teen i listened to music and wished i had the abrasiveness and audacity of kanye
preconditioned to berate and negate my existence
music transcends time
music reignites the desire in us
music lights the fire in us
so why is it that we aren't getting any higher?
