See through, but reflect like a mirror.
Every time I look back ,
I try to change the picture

No end in sight, the story is only
getting realer.  I asked for all of this,
and it's only becoming clearer.

My suffering wasn't in vain, there
was a reason for all the pain. Now
the world is about to see true change

Through Art and Expression like I been
sayin'

us
Gentle, gentle, gentle, don't lead too loud
You wouldn't want to attract a crowd
This here is still for "us"
The ones who built a trust
I remember who you are,
and with me,
Loyalty doesn't stray too far.

Some seeds that my ancestors planted on the very soil that I stand,
are starting to sprout through the work of my hand.  
I can take credit, but that'll be a false demand.
My true purpose is to gather the harvest and replenish the land.

Why do I speak for those who suffer?
Would I be true to myself if I claimed another?

How could I see a woman struggle and not think of my Mother? or a dude laboring for food, and not think of my brother?

I will be a voice for those without, until I hear the sound of the trumpet calling me out.

I see reality TV every time I look outside.

First they desensitized our eyes now we crave what we once despised.

What's real has become fake, so even though I close my eyes, I make sure I stay awake.

When you are thirsty
I give you water

When you are hungry
I give you bread

You weep

Because what you desire
Is not what you are fed.

— The End —
