bouta watch a time to kill killing time duracell alkaline battery fire alarm

hands up still wrong hands tied still shot

2o stitches still write 20 stitches still climb 4 bullets killed another black life

not surprised why am i not surprised traumatized

phone broke L’s suspended still drive no car

black lives black lives black lives BLACKS DIE why is that

underground railroad school-to-prison pipeline

lights off right now a time to kill came on

probably bouta fall asleep 1am I’m the one word salad i don’t care advocate nappy hair

mother cries son too i wonder what we gonna do

justice don’t serve me justice don’t serve you

time off for killing no criminal hearing can any real healing happen

no sleep for the wicked or the victim’s family racism is wicked might as well hang me

oh white america why do you hate me

oh injustice system all the violence against us is surely not pure coincidence

I never knew a challenge I didn’t accept Or an obstacle I couldn’t hurdle

I never knew I could be hurt And broken to pieces But continue to walk this earth With purpose

I wish I could explain to you How much I’ve been hurt But I’m sure you’ve been hurt before, Maybe more than me.

I wish these words penetrate Through the thick barrier Separating me from you.

I take a step back And glance in admiration Whenever you’re around.

The seconds fly by Whenever we do find time But every second is precious.

The minutes slip away Whenever we do cross paths But every moment is valued.

We held hands for a split second And for that split second The world stopped.

Am I in love with her Or the thought Of her never letting go?
