I won’t lie i really can’t relate,
blessed with a good life with food on my plate.
So I think I know my purpose, I accepted my fate.
Help some rise and humble others before it’s too late

Come on my people we can do better.
Been divided too long, we’ve been pitted against each other.
Killing each other off just gives them more ammunition.
So many problems can be solved with adequate communication.

I never squeezed a trigger,
refused to be a killer.
I also can’t judge those, who chose their life over their brother.
But I’m not about that life, so how can I connect.
I’m not going to take a life, just to earn your respect.

But I find myself still caring, about random strangers.
It’s Probably one of the reasons I consider being a teacher.
I don’t like how we’re perceived, come on let’s do better.
Start off in the home, families work together.

No relying on other to move ourselves up.
But don’t isolate ourselves, and put up barriers to love.
I know we’ve been treated poorly all around the globe.
But they don’t know what’s in your hand and it’s too early to fold

Yes I’m quite clear about the challenges currently present.
And my answer to that is how do you eat an elephant?
One bite at a time, and that’s the approach we take.
No more killing our brothers and sisters is the first step we make.

I meant that metaphorically and physically just to let you know.
No more holding others down because you refuse to grow.
A bullet and a knife isn’t the only way to end a life.
You can destroy a solar system when you try to dim a star’s light.
