the meeting freeverse - rey_hmg lyrics

[verse: rey]
welcome to america
the home of the rich
but the land of the poor
no matter who you are
the pen is over the sword
so imma tell em to their face
why y’all actin like equal opportunity
something we can’t afford
since men and women are supposed to be equal
consider this the sequel
to gloria’s letter to the people
more specifically 3rd world women
it’s not a given
but i related to it
writing is the first step to making my music
and i fell in love with both around the same time
she said she was scared of what her words would do
and i’m scared of my rhymes
i barely told my parents i been rappin for a few years
it’s like i came out a closet
i know it’s not the same
so forgive me if you find me in the wrongest
i waited so long because i thought they’d be ashamed of me
and the worst part is
that growing up here
has made me feel ashamed to be brown
and the way women are treated now
i feel ashamed to be proud
to be a man
it p-sses me off
that we don’t have unity amongst our communities d-mn
we all fought for civil rights why couldn’t we do it together
the future is ours
the minorities will inherit this era
we on the same team that’s proven by history
black, brown, red, and yellow
need to burn them bad vibes off like a cigarillo
men need to face it that women are on the same level
they’re not a lower one
so i need to thank anzaldua because i owe her one
yeah

[quote: rey]
“write with your eyes like painters
with your ears like musicians
with your feet like dancers
you are the truthsayers with quill and torch
write with your tongues of fire
don’t let the pen banish you from yourself
don’t let the ink coagulate in your pens
don’t let the censor snuff out the spark
nor the gags m-ffle your voice
put your sh-t on paper.”
– gloria anzaldua
