Don't Shoot (Monologue)

On the 1st of January You took me into custody with 5 of your men While everyone was having a Happy New Year Except for me The smell of wet fireworks Empty bottles of Jägermeister Hookers on cheap stilettos I reminisce on it bitter-sweet I was blissfully humming And and walking home at 3 am You said a guy 'like me' Stole a wallet from a guy 'like you' in a club When my lawyer called And asked for information on the victim There was no victim When I visited your office There was no officer The next day I went back to work And I performed my ass off I forgive you, because I see you You motivate me and you inspire me Because of you I excel at what I do Because of you I moisturize my melanin skin Every single day Because of you I dress real good And because of you I am on time And trust me My friends know I likes to be fashionably late When I get rejected It makes me stronger And when I get booked for another job It makes me work even harder In your eyes I'm a refugee A drug dealer A savage A rapist Or I'm just another brother with a big D Dominating your men Fucking your women Putting all these mixed babies on planet earth Until I open my mouth Until you feel my soul Until you hear my heart You are not able to kill me You are not able to thaw this energy You are not able to dim this light So you try to imprison me Therefore When you see me walking down these streets Hair on fleek High curls Flat top Fade so mean with my baby beard Chest up Head held high with a straight back And a marvelous smile Fully embracing the gap between my teeth Just know that It is all because of you
