My people

My rhymes contain no pretense  
hence, my lines are so intense  
don't paint with pencil but pens  
remorse and regret, repent my sins  
since evil is where it all begins
 
proudly present my pedigree  
if you don’t know, you don’t see  
desperately trying to fight or flee  
certain circumstances caused conflict  
confused cuz life appears so complex
 
listen, you afraid when it is lightning  
imagine people in Gaza at night then  
thousands of warriors doing time in a cellblock  
kids suffering from shell shock, so sad  
people dying while I’m writin’ this rap  
it’s so bad, death knocking at the door  
innocent people fall victim to war  
occupation must cease, a sick disease  
please, ease the siege, let’s have peace  
but we want a piece of the cake  
give it or we’ll take  
a proud people cannot break  
you tried in 88  
broke bones, but it backfired  
bombs blew up in your backyard  
let me repeat it  
proud people cannot be defeated  
with respect everyone must be treated

Never forget Palestine, Syria, Iraq, Donetsk, Odessa, Burma,  
Central African Republic and the many other places around the world where people are dying daily and suffering from war, poverty and oppression
