War Zone (Spoken Word)
This is something I would have loved to push out last week but it’s never too late. This is the spoken word I was talking about in yesterday’s weekly thoughts. This is War Zone down Below. Stream everywhere https://distrokid.com/hyperfollow/kexum/war-zone-2
War Zone: Outside feels like a war zone A virus that can kill me if If A sick person comes close Then it’s the same old pigs in the blanket trying to put me in a casket People starting to take action My people have gotten tired of being peaceful March for years and years But they just choose to close their ears Now buildings on fire Now their eyes open But their ear still close Is burning down your city going to solve anything? Maybe so Did being peaceful get us any where? no Although Burning down stores won’t bring back the dead It will definitely get us heard Just had to be said They don’t understand the pain I understand the pain Seems like the political only care bout gaining votes Not about helping us While cops continue to let their guns buss Who do you call when the feds are the ones shooting? Not safe at home Not safe while driving Not safe while sleeping Not safe while talking Not safe while jogging Not safe while breathing in this black skin I can’t help but think I won’t make it when I hear those sirens blasting Who do you call when the feds are the ones harming you? But not all cops are bad I'm sure the other cop watching them kneel on his body and neck Wasn’t bad Right? Until he watched that man take his last breath I mean If I was with some dude and he shot another dude That's called accessory to murder, therefore, I say every one of them in that video is bad And every cop that choose to defend Should end up in the pen It seems like every time I wake there's another video of us being beaten Even in the DMV Police are walking up on us and pushing Now some of us are pushing back I want to say no don't do that But after getting bullied decade after decade What do you do? From slavery To Segregation, To modern-day racism It's all the same We get killed while chilling in the crib We even get killed while sleeping in our bed If we surrender we get nothing but led If we surrender we turn into central park five With this pigment how do you expect me to survive It feels like I'm living in a war zone I want to live just like you
