Aphelion (ft. Mr Gee)

So Where's our hope meant to come from?
Because We're lost if we place our hope in you
We're lost if we sit around and wait for you to change
Your system
Your world
Your mind
Your rage
Hoping that one day we'll be seen as.... human

And where's our justice meant to arrive from?
If this world is soaked in White supremacy
Saturating its ancient laws
Submerging all
Like an infernal stream of thought forever flowing through time

Drowning us at birth
Seeping into our graves
Placing Tender droplets  upon our foreheads
Baptising our shame
Because Our freedom
Our freedom was once a crime
Our freedom was once denied
Our freedom was once despised

And you can't seem to abolish that thought From your mind
No matter how hard you try
You Fear the equality of truth
Will burst your riverbanks by changing its tides

Are we so difficult to love?
So easy to hate
Is it commonplace to devalue our lives?
Under the pretense that we devalue your Space?

All Ghettos are man-made
Orchestrated with a smile
All Racism is mapped
We just navigate its sick design,,

So Spare me your liberal cries
Or carefully painted protest signs
Because I know that today's ally so woke
Can float with tomorrow's white flight

It's just a matter of time
As we all sink into this difficult history
400+ years underwater
And I'm still struggling to breathe

So what happens to a dream deferred?
Does it now explode into nothingness
Without question
Without a word

Without a thought
Or the idea that it will ever be heard
A Well meaning gesture drenched by the pressure of:
Your system
Your mind
Your rage
Your world

Hoping that one day..... we'll be seen as.... human
