This world is a tough one
Stop and think about why we hustling
Cause for the climate yeah it’s urgent
But for designer merch I’m certain it can wait
I got a date with the choir, gonna inquire about fate
Silverplate hit the tile
Now we hate to see it straight
Wildfire in our state
Every summer at this rate
Every action make or break
I’m just a fraction of the cake
An abstraction of my ache
Taking action for my sake
And for my people gone & great
Set it straight
C'mon

Somebody please let their fear known
Cause I don’t wanna persevere alone, no

Somebody please let their fear known
Cause I don’t wanna persevere alone

Carried into this life, I don’t getta do that too often
My mama yeah she tough
But she still find the time to soften
For me. Lost in the sea
Accompanied
By my roots that run deep
Like the ancestors I meet in my sleep
We steep tea together
See whatever he or she I’m meant to be
Establish my identity
Find clarity.
Primarily mentally
Familiarity in past lives
Surpass fast highs, so I
Revive my drive
So I can thrive by 25
So I write (write)
So I rhyme (rhyme)
With all my might
I take what’s mine
Knowing my rights (rights)
Owning my time (time)
Most nights I’m
Close to heights that
Entwine with the sky
Insights as to why I try
Flowing veins, fine wine

Somebody please let their fear known
Cause I don’t wanna persevere alone, no

Somebody please let their fear known
Cause I don’t wanna persevere alone

It doesn’t take much transparency to see the ugly
But it takes a whole lotta blood to make it opaque
My mistake was staying up late
Doing some command for a demand that’s grounded in hate
I can relate
To those who know the path that was chosen for them
Isn’t for them
Brown kids lost in a dominant culture that isn’t their friends
No representation
Feels like elimination
Erasure from this nation
When they the ones
Calling the shots that make or break 'em, take 'em

Somebody please let their fear known
Cause I don’t wanna persevere alone, no
Somebody please let their fear known
Cause I don’t wanna persevere alone
