Hide and Seek by Brandon Allen I ran from a place that I never knew was created for me. Childhood massacred by modern relationships that set the precedent for liberty Tag team To my innocents hidden in the cascades of the tree shadows that covered me, I ran from truth that light conceived and called it hide and seek memories of mistakes overwhelmed in isolation, honesty and a reputation played handball with which deserve to be sacrificed. I live life in the middle, making quick escapes when reality became to realize couldn't truly hide in the first place Iran, because I was darker. Still, it wasn't until I realized the light was enlightening. Still explode me from the threshold of my solitude, exposed the truth that society desire to keep my darkness drowned. And this genocide is proof. So hold me accountable to my truth. Released from lips Hold me responsible for the burdens of a battered race. I'll keep my hands up just to bear the cross of every for gotten blackface. How many tears must saturate the soil before we finally grow the courage to do something? I represent the broken, the misguided collection, who were promised liberties that we still pay the price and body bags for I share the same heartbeats as those put to arrest. When they came to arrest, they put six in his chest. Tell me, is it fair? I'm forced to instill in my Children warning thoughts that warning shots may come for just a warning. I decree I am covered in his blood filled with hold a ghost in love Yet how many slain lambs must to take until they've sacrificed enough, ripped at our heritage and hung it from a tree, suck spikes in Christ arms and hung them so they can see They traded us death for love and told us that we are free Yet they run from the tag of justice bearing not guilty on their sleeve hiding from persecution. Now let's call that hide and seek The enemy has poisoned our profits Made mute the mouths of the mighty But why scream for help to the death? They gave us roadmaps to our safety yet placed in detours to our death Grand theft to our destiny like it was automatic. Our safety seems to have semi the value It's theirs. Here's my license. I don't care take four from this semi automatic while our Children all watch it happen. You've served us your hatred, and I do not feel protected by the hands of man. Thank God my life was never in their hands to begin with for the Oscars and Trey, Vons and Freddie's who can't speak and the Alton's and Philando owes. And Mike's left bleeding in the street for George Floyd. In Ahmad, we scream No justice, no peace but refused to fight with hate because then we aren't free.
