[Toni Morrison] “We die, that may be the meaning of life. But we do language, that may be the measure of our lives.” [Verse: Graphene] Language is the bridge yet the disconnector Separating worlds but yet intersecting The line between me and you I gotta say God made a hell of a move To make the body universal and a hell of tool To show you love me or that you’re in a hell of a mood And make you yearn for better places with a hell of a view Yeah a hell of a view That’s that conditioning that’s not for your hair Where you live your life wishing that you were more prepared By the schools and your parents Feel if they really cared They would’ve built you elevators instead of taking the stairs In life Disregarding that the rules weren’t fair for your people But you get taught that your mouth is a flare Yeling save me If you ever acknowledge it’s rare We ever run the same race like the tortoise and hare The shit different Man on everything I love I promise The shit different Had to say it twice so that all of y’all could see the difference Between the family of the victim and the family of the witness And the neighbor who called the cops cause they don’t ever mind they fucking business They’ll give you the run around if you don’t mind your fitness They passing these guns around just to watch them sentence Niggas to couple years Watch families shed cups of tears Word to James Baldwin our little brothers need repentance Yeah word to James Baldwin our little brothers need repentance Father God I know the things you do come with a purpose One day I know you’ll lift the veil and open the curtains So they can see into our culture but beyond the surface cause when my sisters go in labor doc can’t see that see that she’s hurting I guess they can’t see that she’s hurting They either think she’s too strong or her life’s unimportant Well One thing is for certain If they learned our language like we learned theirs then they could probably save them a person Or two Or three [James Baldwin] “I am not a ward of America I am not an object of missionary charity. I am one of the people who built the country. Until this moment, there is scarcely any hope for the American dream. Because the people who are denied participation in it, by their very presence will wreck it. And if that happens, it’s a very grave moment for the West. Thank you.
