DEFENDER'S RAP

• Salute the noble and the brave
• Whose stories were erased
• Their souls had been enslaved
• Their shoulders bore the weight
• Folks got cold feet in Salem
• Till they scorched em at the stake
• Cogs that turned in a machine
• And now they rollin in their graves
•  
• We can learn so much from you
• When the norm is inhumane
• We can go against the grain
• Forge a culture from a chain
• The Sun rises on shut eyelids
• An omen of a change
• But a notion all the same
• What the fuck you gonna do to an ocean in the rain?
• I just wanna thank you
• Many know not what you gave
• But hold their children in their arms today
• All thanks to you
• May you find solace in a couple roses on this grave
