When is a life worth a riot?
young people are like
it wasnt right
it hurts
and
I refuses to keep quiet
I feel the emotion of anger boil into a ragebut I don’t engage
because I’m wise enough to know
should fight it
but a young man was slain and I dont like it
he was barely old enough to even be considered a man
would march in one accord
wait on a WORD from the Lord
now faith has been replaced with finance
what was correct
has been corrupted
they say we erupted
into chaos
when those who sit above us
are unorderly
officer I respect you as an authority
but you have been a little over eager
or at the very lest you acted improperly
forgot and thought that we were still property
and you were our
overseer
MY PEOPLE
when you see
Mike Brown’s mother
tell her that she isn’t alone
we will intercede on her behalf
by way of the throne
remind her that
Jehovah see’s her
Young people
you are soldiers for
the Redeemer
now understand
this isnt a isolated incident
but more of a recurring theme
I feel the weight of the Lord
urging me to sing
of the injustice
that pollutes the current stream
I know of a Living Water we can implement
my argument was never that he was innocent
it’s just that he was
KILLED!
HE WAS A
LIFE
they say his hands where in the surrendering position
and still six shots got peeled
it wasnt right
look at all the pain you had to withstain
and all you been through so far
now reply to hate with love
you say, but they hurt me
I say
“you dont
LOVE
because they are worthy
you love
because of who
YOU ARE“
I in no way am implying
that the actions
of a few cops represent
the attitude of police as a whole
it does indicate
that the hate system
of racism
has yet to release its hold
since its conception
when it was made for the protection
of property
and the separation of classes
in some cases it makes victors
in our case it was tragic
so i have to ask it
when is a life worth a RIOT?
young people are like
it wasnt right
it hurts
and I refuse to keep quiet
there rally cry
is really them saying:
“Daddy why wont you make it change?”
they express there frustration by breaking thangs
there brother was slaughtered
their actions was captured on recorders
played for the nation
portrays us as unruly fools
when what You are is
future kings
they ridicule and refuse to comprehend
that with no man
theres no provision
so theres no vision
to see what the future brings
no daddys, no blueprint
so they fail
fathers help your son expand what he understands
so we can excel
so when I say this I yell!
WHEN IS A LIFE WORTH A RIOT?
I say never
a life is a light
that shines the brightest when we come together
RIOT
means :destroy
-that is darkness-
when what we should do is rebuild
hate killed that boy
-it was heartless-
LOVE
is what it takes to heal
