Black is tired
Black would like to make a statement
Black is tired

Black's eyes are vacant
Black's arms are leaden
Black's tongue cannot taste shit
Black's stomach cannot compress death and

Black would like to state that Black is not a beast
of myth
To be slain in a fable
Recounted ontop a round table
Surrounded by blue-collared brave men and

Black has demands
Black demands baton-proof bones and bullet resistant
skin
Black thinks no person this trigger-nervous deserves
a gun
Much less a badge

And Black knows one day its arms will be up
Its lips pinned, but its shadow
Its shadow will be reaching for something
That isn't there and that'll be enough

Black says keep your 40 acres
Just let Black reach for the end of the street
Let Black reach for the last Skittle sweet
Just Let Black reach into Black's own car
Let Black reach into Black's own lungs

Black doesn't want his young ones seeing their
fathers dead on YouTube
Pausing halfway through clips just to keep them
alive
Black says it's always been like this
It's you who's late to woke

And Black has seen your grin
Your grin is a cutlass flag
And Black's hands are bleeding
From gripping the knife edge you offered
On your side of the handshake
Go write your thoughts and prayers on a piece of
paper
Fling it at the moon, see what that'll do

You call for calm, you call for peace
Like sacrifices on mountain peaks
It doesn't end the palava
Might be calm at the top
Underneath is still the lava
Black is angry now

Black is in pain

And Black's nerves are fireflies dancing with grief
A curse-word trapped in a bracket
A sentence too intense for one full stop

Black says that you don't understand
Black says that you cannot compare
Black says this pain is too pepper
Black say that you cannot digest
Black says how can you relate?

When these black lips are this full
And this Black praise is dance!
This Black sorrow is dance
This Black praise is dance
This Black struggle is dance
And this Black pain is dance
This Black struggle is dance
And this Black pain is dance

Just leave Black be
You already have the world
Just leave Black be

Leave us alone.
