Got so much stuff
penetrating my brain
Activists, blacktivists
my little girls pain
that I have caused
her pause to success
Stop the blame game
Prepared instead for the
sweet accolades
of your future around you
Life is short
Make it easy as you can, love
I can sit here all day and night
to tell you why
to stop dwelling
and start loving
But then I get so mad
when you can see me
The opposite of what you should be
Freedom is not a word
It's a choice
You've got it
Use it

Make it easy as you can, love

But then I get so mad

The opposite of what you should be
Freedom is not a word
It's a choice
You've got it
