They tell me to revise
They say I don't listen
They say they'll be there
When the time comes
They won't...
They say it's only natural
They say it's natures way
Then why does nature hurt me
Like your mom when she says
You're not good enough for my daughter
Keep on saying your prayer
Speak to God all you want
I don't give a f*ck down here
They say you'll get good grades
You'll make something of your life
I say it's only fate
That's the first time I spoke up for myself
They say you're a coward
You shouldn't have a place on this earth
I say there's a mother grieving out there
Why don't you say that about her dead son?
They say it's only natural to bully
It's mans only way
I say "If he's so scared of different,
Why doesn't he tell me himself?"
So what you've got an idea
You're going to change the world
Too bad,darling
Time to push you down below
I have had it with your poetry
I have had it with your face
Time to put you on your death bed
You don't belong here
So you say you've had it hard?
Your mamma take away your PS4?
How about those sons who are crying?
Their mothers dead or dying?
Do you think you belong here?
No,darling, you don't
Get on back to your mom who loves you
She knows what she's on about
She knows you
She loves you
She's probably worried out of her mind
Scenarios popping through her head
Like a cinema screen on fire
I wish I had a chance
Just to say -"Mom, I love you."
I'd be OK
I'd lay in peace but instead
I'm here as a warning
Don't do what I did!
Go back to your cozy house
Your plasma screen
Your family
The last thing I'll say
I'm talking to you
Listening too.
To every conversation you've ever had
With your parents,
With your friends,
With the cousins you knew were there
You need to think about your actions.
Justice don't come without sacrifice
Just think about it
When you're lying there
With your teddy bear
Think about those mothers.
Think about those brothers.
Those fathers,sister
Aunties and uncles
Who've all lost someone dear.
Think about those dead ones
Lying there on the battlefield
No-one's there to perform
Their last rites
No-one ever will.
Do you want to be there?
Just remember:
I AM WATCHING YOU
EVERY STEP OF THE WAY!
