There's so much that I want to say
So much popping up in my feed and head today
But the fact is all that comes out now is
I'm so tired of this
You can't have an opinion unless you're white
You can't have an opinion unless you're black
You can't have, you can't think, you can't do
You're racist, you're not a Christian, you're not Jack
For You see,
I'm tired not for myself
But of all the negativity
I'm so tired of a culture that's bleeding
And we think tapping a keyboard is
Bringing about so much change
But it's not, it's leaving us needing
Needing change that isn't coming
Cause of us it's faltering
A constant uphill battle we've created
But to that end we keep running
We used to go out and help a man in desperate need
We used to give out to the hungry without filming it for our feed
We used to never know what happened on the other side of the globe
But now if we don't then we must be ignorant with a broken frontal lobe
We're called to address so many issues
But we don't take care of the ones that are
Right in front of us in our daily lives
You know the ones that you keep hid deep inside
We call out our fellow man and say I'm better
But the plank in our eyes keeps us from seeing that we have our own fetter.
I'm tired and worn
Maybe you are too
But what do we accomplish
By speaking what isn't true
I want to hear positivity
I want to know i made a difference
I met the need of someone
And created a smile where there was none
A lot have been struggling this year
No job, no money, stuck inside with fear
How about we ignore the social media
And focus on the neighbors that live next door
How about we focus on our communities first before we tackle more
How about we turn off the news
Go outside and make some instead
I'm just so tired and worn.
