We need action
Not condolences
Far too long we marched, danced and died
Screamed, starved and cried, in hope someone notices
Paid in ration, killed off in orderly fashion, minimal compassion, all for you to caption ‘black lives matter’
Performative shit
I’m tryna see reform in this b*tch
For all the mothers that be mourning their kids
Take my word and then restore it in this
Open the prisons
Defund the police
Filter all the money so it’s back on the streets
Use that same coin for transition support
Then we take a small per cent and put our kids into sport
Help them build a rapport with the land and the lore
Give us space and time to heal from this spiritual war
I cannot be your teacher
I cannot ask for help
I only have these words for you to take for yourself
We are the original
With the lore of the land
Which in turn is the lore for every woman and man
So let me say it again as I’ve said it before
Dynasties end, the kingdoms will fall
Tides will turn & we’ll settle the score
But not with hate but with love
Not with envy but with passion
And reconciliation is just a word without action – reconciliation is an action
