Let Me Speak! (It's My Right)
Why
Why should I shut my mouth with subjects on moral and humane rights because
"I'm...too...young..."
"I...wouldn't...understand..."
You may be right
I don't understand
How can,
How can we as a nation proclaim one nation under God and be oppressors of
"Our own kind" as human beings
How can we be fine with that
I won't...
I don't...
I don't understand how can one man
Base his speculations on a black hoodie
Well, I better watch out for winter...
I have yet to figure out the threat
Maybe innocent Trayvon Martin could've
used the skittles to block the bullet headed for his chest
I really wonder what in the world was going through Zimmerman's head that day
What made him act that way
What made him do such a thing
Was it because he was black?
Even so, I would'nt understand though
Remember...
I'm too young...
I could'nt possibly understand how,
How a lady named Sandra Bland
Was pronounced dead
Because of an officer who is sworn to protect
How...
How could I possibly understand that
The fact that my youth has to be the determining factor for my mental
capacity on these matters
I don't understand that
I...
I can't accept that
I can't accept
Former Officer Darren
Felt that Mike Brown was the biggest threat in mankind
So he thought in his mind to pull that trigger six times
With each shot you were fueling my flames
You remove that gun when your life is at stake
So...that explains the two bullets which cascaded through Mike Brown head
I wouldn't understand how a simple whistle was the determining factor between
life and death
I wouldn't understand?
How can...,
How can I not understand
You got it wrong though
I totally understand
You misunderstand me
These victims are like me
Mostly teens
It hurts us too...
Don't get it twisted
We all are affected...
All of us
Every black young man
And every black young lady
We...
We feel the inhumanity being perpetrated towards our society
We are young
Black
Teens
And we deserve our voice
And we...,
I
Long for the day where we get our shot
Crying
"Let Me Speak"
That...
That is our right
