If I should die? Lyrics

If I should die

If I should die, just know my fight was real, my life was real and what I chased

If you read between the lines

Should clearly be revealed

I was never scared, maybe a little too bold

It's easy to lift fist but what if your enemy isn't physical but the system that exists

Then what does it matter if you're gunning them down or beating them down?

Just know I am tired of dragging my body

From the depths of the ground

Something's got to change and through destruction that happens

Comfortable in a system but never walking through the prestigious part of the pasture

If I should die, my intention

Was for my young black boys

Not to have to experience youth detention

If I should die riddled with bullets, my poems riddled with full clips Left behind for my Young army to explore with ...

I am not surprised on the day I die; I just lay there with my last breaths, vision through My children and peers are the ones I did it for

If I should die, just read between the lines and you better not cry because real ones Always survive. My memory should be the light...

When I die, I want the world to know the value of being different in a world like this

I am almost sure I will be the last in my blood line to experience prison because there Has to be a better way of living if I should die
