requiem for the enslaved: iv. grant them rest - marco pavé & hub new music lyrics

[spoken word]
i am no minister of malice
i will not strike the fallen
i will not repel the repentant
but may my right hand forget it’s cunning
and my tongue cling to the roof of my mouth
if i forget the difference between the parties
to the terrible, protracted, and bl**dy conflict
a conflict between people who would rather k!ll millions of humans
than see the humanity of the enslaved
a conflict for both scared and brave
a conflict for justice or a conflict that left just us
“why don’t you go back to africa?” they ask
i don’t think my brothers will be willing to treat you fairly
seeing that you werе property, now you’re owning property
spеaking properly
possibly seeking revenge, unhinged
deranged, crazed, in a daze
miseducated and misbehaved
there must be a way for your humanity to be recognized
elsewhere
but that’s what the good side had to say to my ancestors
may we grant them a higher reward than recognition of their humanity by barbaric humans
may we grant their struggles deeper understanding
may we grant the wishes of the enslaved
may we dismantle the system built upon their backs
may we give eternal life to the souls of beaten flesh
may we grant my ancestors favor, spiritual immunity
and may we grant them, and may we grant them rest
