I could be the Next victim Neck pressed on as I smell the rubber of a cops tires Forced to kiss the ground I walked on As he expresses his power He overdosed on anger A power trip with no sense of human decency As he presses on my neck I start yelling “I can’t breath” !!!!!! Me saying I can’t breath seems to be the words that comfort his heart, stroke his ego as he won’t let go Like countless others he made it his duty to send me to my maker, to rid the world of my existence Choking every ounce of air in my body As he claims to protect and serve Protecting his future and serving his needs I just happened to be in the way of his agenda Diabolical mindsets fornicate with his views He births opinions of being the superior race Encouraged by the media He seeks to honor the heritage of his ancestors Old time slave owners, it’s in his blood A passage of hate, passed down to him by ignorant minds, he educates himself and his children, teaching hate no compassion, seek to **** with no solution,
What hurts the most is witnessing good cops sit in silence, muted in solidarity, silenced by unity Standing and watching for 8 minutes & 46 seconds Let that sink in!!!! Clock ticks as they result to their old antics No accountability for their immoral actions Which encourages them to keep killing and suffocating those with darker pigmentation
I could be the next victim, being black makes me a target, makes me a mark, makes me a reason for the graveyard never to remain empty We all die, (I get that) But he seeks to invite death to come meet me early
I could be the next victim So before I become the next victim I will fight and pursue justice I will protest until my unborn child tastes freedom I will honor my ancestors by my action Resilient mindset, and dedication to create a better generation of leaders, supply love in a world where my worth is determined by my skin tone, in this fight I know I am not alone Looking at this crowd I know we are together strong!!! As we fight for my ancestors Their cries echo deep in our souls Rooted deep in our veins is their pain
I will know my rights, raise my voice, scratch and claw for equality, Until it becomes my reality For 400 years of innocent blood is enough Our voices can not be muted if we speak as one Vote as one, fight as one, seek change and hold those in power accountable on all levels as one
I could be the next victim but before I am next I will ask justice to do its job and protect my last breath and heart beat
