This is how I feel
This is how I feel
With police killing our youth
but even without the police they are being killed
more and more as if there’s not enough going on
This is how I feel
It’s as if we have gained our freedom just to give it away
we witness this pain and “I’m sorry” is all they have to say
now I understand why mi momz always told mi to make sure I pray
This is how I feel
They’re suiting up to take us out
and we act as if we already lost the fight
dreams are killed
and the future is no longer bright
This is how I feel
Drop out rates are rising
so somebody please tell mi what are they learning?
I’m telling you the streets it’s all they know they eat drink and sleep it
This is how I feel
The parents are not there
our youth is learning nothing
I don’t understand how we’re still functioning
This is how I feel
No work no pay
and now their relying on a “Bae”
so much fear it’s hard to seem brave
This is how I feel
Finding ourselves locked in a cage
our minds far off in a cave
emotions up and down like a wave
a time of change is what the elders crave
will we ever make it I don’t know but
This is how I feel
More money spent on materials
then on education
but this isn’t a problem right
no it’s wrong
but when will we see this?
But what is this?
This is a problem
This is how I feel
Bruising our beautiful skin
all because of someone else’s sins
The blade rises and we bleed
better watch what you say
You could be next
This is how I feel
Taking so called med’s
That take over our brains
Your thoughts are no longer yours
Instead of worrying about ourselves
we worry about sitting on 24's
our minds in another place
and your struggling with everything in your face
But still determined to win the race
This is how I feel
The struggle is really real holding in secrets
Their trying to get us to spill
This is how I feel
Beaten and left alone
Scared to open up just to mi shut back down
Hurt laying on the ground
They take advantage
and after a while your fed
You press on
But you couldn’t take it
The next day your gone
When will they care
This is how I feel
Over looked by so many
They treat me as if I’m less
and I won’t lie sometimes I feel depressed
but still I find a way to press
Because I know one day I’ll be the best
Forget the rest
This is how I feel
You may not think so but my feelings are real
And how I feel doesn’t come from pills
God has blessed me with lots of skills and
This is just how I feel
