They say, “Go harder, so the claps can grow broader.”
But i ain’t doing it for the claps,
I’m doing it for the heart of me.
Cuz if i don’t do it, my full potential
I’ll never reach nor see
I’m only human
Just like you
But we gotta think beyond
1+1=2.
See if it ain’t got that glow then
We don’t wanna know and
If it ain’t hype then
Maybe it’s not your type?!
We love in a world where we care more about
#clapbackseason and less about
The #toxicairwebreathing
And #toomanyofmybrothersandsistersdyingoffthesedrugstheyfeening
More worried about likes and Instagram watcher pleasing
But maybe just like MLK
I’m just dreamin'
Of a better place
And although little boys and girls join hands with different race
They still out here judging us by the color of our skin
And not our character
And don’t tell me that’s not the case
Take the lives of the innocent
And How to Get Away with Murder
Right there in front of our face.
