Woke

[Verse 1]
A white man didn’t indoctrinate my religion
I was not force fed Jesus by Europeans
Wasn’t sold what to believe in
Nor does my belief system make me elitist
I’m the least
& my leash, is proof that I’m free
& my freedom is birthed from my peace
I ain’t in pieces
Never saw James as King
What a relief
Only 'Nissi has my allegiance
I believe
There is power in prayer
I believe in God's timing, not an hour to spare
I don't need to feel your energy
I don't do the vibes
Don't agree with karma
The universe isn't God

[Hook]
If everybody woke
Nah homie I'm sleep
Gotta be more to life
Than running chasing a dream
If everybody woke
Nah homie I'm tired
Everybody living their truth
Where is the lie?

[Verse 2]
On the flip I’m not only identified by my blackness
One of the most beautiful attributes on this atlas
The fact is our struggle’s in tact because we match
But if our values ain’t attached
There's an detachment
They act as if
My blackness is a monolith
& Anything that's opposite is competition
It's contradictive
It's condescending
& don't confuse silence with indifference
We lovers of ourselves
Lovers of our scales
Is that really love
If love never fails
Some say it's modern day slavery
I say it's a modern day Salem
We sadists
I say this
We want acceptance, if not then they judging
Take me as i am, if not, you don't love me
Somebody tell me what love is....
Give & take?
Or it's all love until i love something you hate
They're sensitive
They're toxic
What's good is evil
Freedom is boxed in
Preach inclusion & individuality
But only if it makes you comfortable in your reality
Humanity...is shaped in layers & stages
Don't contain it, or taint it
It's amazing
Upset? take a breath
If you complain more than you change
Give it a rest
