Pray for Dem
Detractors and factors. Actors and reactors. Put them both to shame by denying them power over you. Can't go any lower. I've already found the basis, for exploring all of these beautiful places. Turns out it was never outside of my own soul! The more you know the more you grow! Touched so many people by being just myself. Torched so many people from just acting the part. Got so many more people to the homes they needed to go. Broken a few, mended more than I ever needed to know. I've got still more stories to tell. I've still got so many more ways to raise hell! My fire burns almost as brightly as my shame. Guess that's why my name is up in lights or maybe, really, just lit. The reason I remain is because of that unjust pain. The reason I remain is another reason for me to mansplain. Agitated at the rest, I weather the storm as best as I can while realizing that I am the reason that I'm still standing in the midst of it. There is nothing to forgive. I want everything and nothing. Scorched earth policy. If you're going to be a soothsayer, then you maybe want to slay this saber tooth truth sayer. While grievances get put on display for each and every tax payer. It's a black singer, no it's a black actor, no it's a man who doesn't fit into your predefined place, I'm a black panther. Fist out, I was born to stand out. I pray for dem, though dem never a pray for me. Maybe pray for me to fail. Hit that head on the nail. Just as backwards as it sounds. Bless their souls, they know not the person they behold. Smile at them back as I laugh in they face. You'll try to take everything from me, but can't you see that I'm saving face. Look but them nah a find a person who can me replace. Like the age old adage that I'll forever state; you'll see me struggle, you'll see me stumble, you'll see me fail, you'll see me humbled, but you'll never see me fall from grace.
