You may record me in your over-edited, excerpts. What men claim as their story. Salty, bitter history, versus jaystory. Throw my revolution in the sand. But still, like the dust on your mantle, I am lifted. Even deceased I can stand.
Does my challenge anger you? Are you overwhelmed with a match? My words can open cans of worms Your little politician promising can't patch Up, or be swept under that with a broom I will haunt you with my revolutions Like I'm zeus in his own living room.
Like the endless universe to our moon. To the fall of capitalism soon To the 24 frames a second on networks of cartoons Or those stuck in the trip of two caps of a shroom Stay in tune Like your high school's marching band However I have to I'll find ways to stand
I know someone would rather see me broken, crippled, legless, without feet. A head hung low and eyes even lower so Shoulders challenging one one another to how much closer to the ground one can go.
Does my attitude offend you? Don't take my strength too too hard I'll laugh like I've got El Dorado Underneath my back yard.
You may shoot me with your thoughts Your words, throwing heat from steamed pots But me with your eyes, thinking it may do a lot You may **** me with your hateful energy, maybe you can But whatever state the world leaves me in I will continue to stand.
Does my appeal make you angry? It frequently comes as a surprise I dance as if 50 carat diamonds lie between my two thighs
My history might have shame, lost in brutal command But that's then, this is now, so regardless I stand I'm an endless waterfall, unmeasurable in feet The fact I can't hear myself is also funny to me. Since water is a sound that my ears cannot reach. But at least by my wonder to some I can teach. That there is nothing you cannot withstand. So with my my revolutionaries Together. We stand. I stand. To dawn and then back. I stand. Regardless of your wrath. I stand. I am the dream, and in hopes, the hope of the change. I stand and I'll stand. Till a new story's engraved. I stand. To when history is just a story. Not belonging to a man.
