LISTEN!!!!!

I have something to say
And it won’t be the way
I portray these words
No it WILL be the message they convey
See I’m sick of us yelling
To get attention
For words that mean nothing
The real deep down
Nitty gritty
Shit aint too pretty
SPEAK!!!
Your voice ought to crack
Your soul ought to ache
When you show your voice to the world
See we all got something to say
Its programmed into the way
We live life
We live strife yall
Your words ought to permeate your walls
Fills your dormitory halls
Your struggles your troubles
Your faults your falls
LISTEN!!!!
Fashion people money
Yeah that’s nice
But we all need to talk about LIFE
If its silence we aint living it
If we yelling we aint getting it
LISTEN!!!!
Take in what your brother is saying
Not the Nikes he’s wearing
Or the ice he’s displaying
Don’t let your culture die
From the game that you’re playing
Take the time to hear the movement
Hear him say Help me
Hear her say Love me
THEN SPEAK!!!!
Defend the ones you love
Don’t stand in the shadows
Yelling nonsense up above
Reality Check- God sees you He saw you
Enough is Enough
Be CATIOUS!!!
What you don’t say in still there
What you do say is in air
Love your brother, love yourself
Then Words are only fair
Let your mouth be a weapon
A tunnel to your soul
Only then is life accomplished
Only then are words whole.
