DEFENDER'S RAP

• Who am I? Someone who isn’t afraid to let go,
• Who am I? Someone who bleeds and never let you know,
• Soon as I, know why I walk the earth I’ll let you know,
• But until then, I’ll grab my book and mic and put on a show,
• On the low I’m a fallen soul, lost faith a long time ago,
• I try to reach a common goal, but these war games take a toll,
• Heart and soul feeling weak, sometimes I don’t want to even speak
• it always seems there’s injustice, at times they don’t care to be discreet,
• And people getting tired about the attention on it, but I don’t understand,
• Because if a man beat you for four hundred years,
• You would have grief and fear with only fifty years
• Of this so called freedom, that is never clear, Cause systems in place that hold your chains still,
• But never seem to change, getting new languages And codes, to make you look derange,
• And you see and hear about these men locked away due to prejudice,
• Question is, for several years, when will it be the end of this,
• It’s like the monsters got a secret deal to stop the appeal,
• There’s trouble here, there’s shaking but the bombers making it a lot worse,
• Placing it on auction for a hundred dollars like clockwork,
• But hey, apples to oranges don’t care for similarities,
• Until they knock on your door and kill your family,
• Tie them up and let them down, then say it’s suicide,
• Paper on their back say learn your place, so now it’s do or die,
• Will you lay down or stand and fight? Who am I? Someone
• That got a dream he’s never letting go, you decide when
• It becomes a reality, I hope you soar, before the hunter
• Cut your wings and never let you go, I got chicks
• Following me I’m opening up the door, I pray to
• Be understanding and not on the pill, killing my mind
• Slowly and be scared to heal, see and feel what people deal with,
• Defeat devils in the street saying peace, feed my flesh to
• My brothers give some knowledge to the others, it’s hard,
• Predators counting on you to be the stereotype
• And your brothers being crabs, taking you down easily,
• In a constant flow of debating, trying to walk but there’s a lot of snow,
• reflecting what I know, funny how there’s a limit on what I show,
• Because too much would cause a revolution and destruction,
• light a fire, feed my people and make growth
• Like a tiger protect the pack with my might
• Like a fighter ride higher through the cold
• To say why I’m in this world through the fold,
• Rise out of the dirt and be a savior that I hope to see,
• Who am I? Just a reflection of what I know.
• You or I. Brothers who know the code,
• I try, to make a change it’s all I hope,
• I strive to live a good life though I told you my souls old,
• Keep your eyes closed, if you scared, I’ll do it all alone,
• Who am I? A King that’s ready to face the stone,
• Who am I? Just a scholar taking notes,
• You and I, just a rapper paving stones,
• Making roads for kids to drive on
• Rely on your self, decide to fight on,
• Who am I? A man who puts on shoes others
• Refuse to try on, you can fly I got the wings you want to persevere
