"They want my silver tongue sliced /
Prose verbose and yet so precise /
Letters ignite a full-scale riot /
I'll stay spilling my guts til they drape me in violet /
If I'm breathing, I'm exposing my wounds, homes /
There'll be plenty of time for silence at the tombstone /
Bruised bones and metal bars aren't a threat /
It's the words I never said, those are hard to forget /
And I'll offer no defense, I was a coward /
Knees knocking, trembling under their power /
Now I don't just speak, I scream /
And every word I say I mean /
And you can say I'm mean, try to call it hate speech /
'cause I'm out there tryna unlearn the garbage they teach /
Ego's on eleven, raising hell til it's heaven /
Art is my weapon, make my mark with my brethren"
