I was born the same day As the Rodney King riots It's no wonder these poems in me Can't remain quiet Can't remain silent Amidst the violence And the sirens Ringing in between the silence And red flashing lights Waving under my eyelids Attempting to plant seeds Of panic and pandemic virus But I got God in my iris God in my heart You can call me a human hybrid Christ in my blood You can say I'm from Sacred Tribesmen With divinely guided Soul-sighted steps And a vibrant mind To remind the rest Of the light that's incited When belief in yourself And Spirit is ignited And your dreams you envision Then sit down and write it So it's written The lows and highs of the times In these rhymes I be spitting And if ever you feel Something is missing Close your eyes and vibe To the flows of your own vision And know to love your self From the soul is the only mission To love your self from the soul Is the only mission
