Stand with Me

It’s a breeze. I can do this shit with ease. I rap so I can say what I please
It’s a breeze. Stand with me, please. I’m the summer breeze blowin' through the
trees
It’s a breeze. I’m gonna use my abilities to create a community of unity
Stand with me please and together everything will be a breeze
Let me regale ya. I respect rap so much that I’d inhale it
It disturbs me and perturbs me when others show such disrespect
So let me warn ya. I can lyrically impale ‘em and unveil ‘em
They’ll be so condemned wishin' they’d listened to Q-tip instead of the mayhem
Cuz Black Lives are not just a trending topic
You don’t get to stand there filmin' with your iPhone in the myopic
Thinkin' you’re some kinda hero cuz you marched ahead
Then you forget about it goin' back to your white privilege bed
While kids are dyin' in the streets gettin' shot in the head
Our dictator keeps goin' after immigrants and Isis but as far as I can see
None of us are free cuz the worst terrorists around me
Are the white men in uniforms with the license and ability to assassinate
anybody
And the people that support these sanctioned murders in the name of democracy
And yeah, I have a pussy but I am a force to be reckoned with
Let me make it plain, my brain combined with my pain and my abilities is insane
I’m here to make a change and take this world to a better plane
Of existence I join the resistance, against racism, sexism, prejudice,
and ignorance
U.N.I.T.Y. let freedom live and never die, stand and fight for what is right
Not what is considered to be appropriate for a white
Muthafuckas, black lives have always mattered to me
Well before I was part of the hip-hop industry
I don’t own a single fuckin' diamond and never will
These bloody wars have taken 3.7 million
African lives causing a slave trade that thrives
So all of you out there who say you are pro-black lives
Take a look at your ring finger today and expose your own lies
Cuz you can have a symbol of love and life
Without havin' someone’s blood to linger as your prize
And just how many black women, men, and children
Have to die to make a studded pendant for America’s vanity to be satisfied
My rhymes are about a woman’s range
And my pangs to make change and my ability to rearrange
The cultural perception of what is real and what is right
I refuse to join the trivial fight over who’s the rap queen
Cuz I know Latifah will always reign
And like Steve Aoki I don’t want no beef
Just give me the kief
Now it’s time to impeach those in power who only care about personal gain
Because ruining the lives of others is not a fuckin' game
I will sit with Rosa Parks in the front of the bus
And tell Emmett Till that he can whistle at me at will
I would never have let that horror happen to him no matter what
I can’t believe this shit is happening still
God please tell MLK that he can soon stop rollin' in his grave
I promise to help save and return this world to the progressive
Not the regressive state we’re in today of the fake and disingenuous way
But in a safe world where all our kids can together play
