Rise UP
Rise up I say, why you gotcha ya head bowed

1,2,3,4How many gunshots moreHard to trust anyone in a blue uniformThey hold off on telling us what we did wrongBut swears to the judge we've been informedI feel unsafe in my streetsI fear a white boogie man strangling me in the sheetsI'm scared m
This is the daily grindtime we don't want to findso full it will destroy your mind

Who we are is who we will be
The only one to change that is the voice inside of me
The voice telling you right from wrong
The voice telling you that you don't belong

I write,
Because my hands are spider webs of words
That need to be weaved on paper
Like an artists’ paint
Needs to be swirled around the canvas.
I write because someone
Out there
Needs to know
Bursting at the seams with soul
Limitless, feverish in its cage
The carnal, vigorous life untold
Impossible to assuage.
