Wake Up
My pain runs deep like the Red Sea
God has parted it, opening up my eyes for me to see
a clear view, the past in my review is forever dead to me
my pen is just a middle man I make bleed
My life in these lines for you to read
The reason we are different
Cuz I really done lived it
So much BS'll have you livid
But now I'm like deuces good ridden
Bible says cuz of Jesus I'm forgiven
So I'm going to give him the wheel
My wounds he will heal
See real recognize real
And salvation is free, you couldn't ask for a better deal
I'm living proof
God's word is the truth
See they ain't even aiming no more hanging out the window, they just letting loose
Pushing poison, messing with the youth
Don't matter what race you are, we all out here hanging ourself
All the b******* the media be feedin ya, you forget, there's always strings attached to the help
ALL this covid stuff is bad for your health
Fake concerns for your wealth
All these deaths
Covered up by these checks
We don't even see it but we're failing the test
United we stand, divided we fall, that's when we're at our best
Black lives matter, but flatlined lives matter too
This is bigger than being about me, or being about you
The reason I became a writer
Cuz I'm not a statistic
Or a 25 to lifer
I'm a fighter
A survivor
Learned a lil wiser
I might fall, but I'm definitely a riser
Each time head a lil higher
Realized the devil is liar
Now it's my choice
Not to be quiet, but to raise my voice
I think mankind's morality could use a hoist
We got to stop the hate, and in Jesus name come together and rejoice.
