Usually, I don't voice my opinion But these stories on my news feed got my head spinning Got me questioning these times that I'm living Like damn this is the era that my kids are gonna live in I pray to God he always keeps my kids safe Because nowadays kids beat their parents to the grave And just the other day I saw a mother who is pain Because she found her daughter's body 20 miles from a base She was a soldier and somebody's kid Sexually harassed and nobody did spit Thank you for your service, you really did it big I hope you tell God everything that they did God will do everything we can't do But he won't do anything we can do And there's no way that we're gonna let this slide Because if we do then we've already died They took Vanessa's life and I hope that her story Gets the same recognition as that of George Floyd I'm just trying to use the power of my voice Because being powerless is no longer a choice Being powerless is no longer a choice Protesting got us walking to the wrong places How come we're not marching to the ICE cages This is dedicated to the kids who didn't make it Cramped up in small spaces with no bed just a blanket I'm looking at their faces and their death has me bothered They should of never been in custody with these monsters Man that could've been my son or my daughter I take this to the heart because it hurts me as a father And we should never stop caring But we need to do a lot more than raise awareness We're grown-ups now and some of us are parents With that being said, we shouldn't let our kids parish All we do is talk about it for a week Then continue with our lives posting memes To all my geez, we need to cut it with the beef We need to get in groups, hit the streets, and roll deep I'm sick of hearing all this power that we have at reach But can't put it to use when our people is in need I'm just trying to use the power of my voice Because being powerless is no longer a choice Being powerless is no longer a choice I've seen enough clips of street vendors getting jacked Imagine being recorded and they put it on blast It really makes me sad to see our people get harassed Dear homies on the block, We need to have their back This stuff happens in the hood that we claim We gotta do our part to keep each other safe Imagine coming home bruised up with no pay When that's the only job that you got to maintain This is a problem that we need to take care of There's a couple of other things that we need to clear up We can not allow a fool behind a badge with a strap And shoot our kids in the back to work as a sheriff God didn't promise that the world would be humane So he gave us the gift of life so we can choose the way That we utilize our time that we have in this place And I think Cesar Chavez meant that we need change It's been a hell of a year We've lost a lot but I'm glad we're still here And I'm just trying to use the power of my voice Because being powerless is no longer a choice Being powerless is no longer a choice
