The mouth cried aloud that he can’t see The eye never gave him a response ‘cause the eye couldn’t speak The mouth cried aloud that he can’t see The eye never gave him a response ‘cause the eye couldn’t speak Growing up, black kid in a white church The only black kid in my class, without a catalyst to site worth White speakers, white preachers Black History from white teachers, Who taught me that white people oppressed by a Kingdom, They revolutionized and won a fight for their freedom The stories of their glory, their valor, and their bravery But all they taught me about my people here was slavery Imagine what that does to the psyche To teach that none of the heroes of this life will look like me Unintentional, sure but it’s still manipulation Though the implications are frightening The idea that ideal is counter to what’s founded in my little cells Urge a black child to act counter to his inner self Less worth, skin of the curse, live from the citadel On God, that’s a lie from the pit of hell So when you look at me and all you sees an eyesore Apparently I’m worth enough for Christ to die for Lies when you say you don’t see color These brothers mean well but when you say that we shudder More lies that the devil has told Because for you to not notice my complexion was never the goal You bring beauty to the table, I just bring a different kind of it Honor it, acknowledge it, and don’t pretend we’re blind to it The time for it is now, for us to elevate our interests Embrace them, and engage them, then celebrate the difference Ayo it’s time to become intimate 'Cause long term this new earth, our time togethers infinite Our timeline we stained it with division But that all changes, from every tribe and every language Imagine in the afterlife A full choir of angels but only half is mic’d Or God holding a prism, shinning light through every precious stone given Then he veils a couple gems and now that rainbows only half as bright That’s crazy ain’t it? Well we can reconcile now, bring heaven to earth, yo we don’t have to fight Make peace with body Be as diverse as those of whom we minister, if you ain’t down for that you’re sinister 'Cause every member of the bride yo he remembers her The eyes and the mouth of the Author and the Finisher The mouth cried aloud that he can’t see The eye never gave him a response ‘cause the eye couldn’t speak The mouth cried aloud that he can’t see The eye never gave him a response ‘cause the eye couldn’t speak The mouth cried aloud that he can’t see The eye never gave him a response ‘cause the eye couldn’t speak The mouth cried aloud that he can’t see The eye never gave him a response ‘cause the eye couldn’t speak
