open letter (a tribute)

I done seen the struggle and the pain People like to call them the same thang Beauty is one and it ain’t the pain I’m just giving facts up out my brain My uncle taught me everything I know I always knew one day I had to grow He said I had to let these people know He said my voice was gift Let it Go But I’m upset Cause his death it rocked my soul I wasn’t ready for my guiding light to go Thought we had time So I let my emotions flow I flew away and I let the distance grow He still wit me Taught me everything I know A noble human and I’ll never let him go I hope he know I ain’t afraid to walk alone Don’t know where to turn so I put it in this song More like a father And I watched you be strong Now all these years and my father came home Now all them visions of the cookouts Long gone We ain’t a family like my grandma would want We ain’t a family like my grandpa would want I had to say it Cause some of us know we wrong They’ll never admit it Cause they think they think they on a throne I pray for peace Cause the future gone glow They next up And division all they know They goto school and they get good grades tho Teachin them their gifts And how to keep em on the low We trained to love In my family household I hope yall know that our skin worth more than gold Under any pressure I would never curl I’ll never fold Threw me to the wolves And now I walk alone I finally understand my own mind I’m cold Would never change I accept myself WHOLE And if you new over here you can call me indilo
