I
by Blackbird
Pain.
Pain.
Pain.
Each time I say it my stomach smiles a bit.
Deep breath.
In
Release
You can't speak your truth in Amerikkka.
Whatever you say, can and will be held against you. So here I am. 24. No pain.
Noooo, pain. No.
I saw a wave go by saying its "cool" to be
"crazy." Yah. Pop pills 4 that shit cause its legal.
(silence)
Whatever you say, can and will be held against you.
If I get better at surviving, am I a powerful being, or an over-worked niggah?
When do i began to thrive?
Now?
I don't feel...well
I...I. Am. Angry.
"Shhhhhh boy"
Whatever you say, can and will be held against you!
(God Speed)
I am angry, ya'll shot my cousin up with some bad shit. Fuck the - BOOM.
(one shot to the chest)
I saw you die that night. I died 2.
