I was born by a gully I mean that more mentally than hyperbole See, what I know of August town is that it radiates heat like perpetual summer Like the block is hot Like shottas wasn't a movie but an heirloom And badmon bad mind gets handed down like the American dream manifesto in public schools Like school takes places in the streets and school houses house recess Cause street smart counts for ninety percent and life don't grade on a curve Like, don't run thru the burbs wearing the wrong skin in America Like, don't exist in the hood at the wrong time Like broken clocks when there's only two right times and it's never right now One gully exchanged for a new one and the credits transferred But I was so sheltered and a little short on street cred What I learned at recess is that A child born poor is a tragedy Resilience equals win the day times hustle hard Ingenuity is more than the sum of the opportunities it meets Poverty unremedied, turned on its side looks a lot like culture Poor with a twist is a delicacy where the rich are It's easy to become addicted to drama And struggle meals turned favorite meals isn't tradition it's trauma But I wanna live like what was isn't what has to be Like the apple can produce more fruit than the tree Like hard knock life was elective and not my major I wanna live major, humbly Like wild dreams needs no sweet dream to see me I wanna see me with long grey braids and age that looks like the love child of black don't crack and life well lived No corners left to clock no clocks left to punch, no punches left to throw, a picture of Well done I wanna live like rocking chairs on the wrap around porch of the house I built on the land I bought is the new Generational norm Like be not weary Like it's due season Like sower turned reaper Like it's the day to day climb that turns born again into new creature I wanna live like, His grace is sufficient I wanna feel like created in his image Like speak to the mountain Like water turned walk way Like, rise up and walk Like, but on the third day I wanna live like Sunday is a spirit and peace is my only option Because peace, is my only option
