If I could take account
For every time you made to shout
Scream, cry, sob, and yell
I still couldn’t tell
The burden I carry
Being melanin heavy
This brown skin
Exuding black pride
Is just why the vision of me
Makes your spirit hide
And your white supremacy shine
And your hate of my race
Is a sin you can’t escape
Because if I could take account
For every time you made me shout
Scream, cry, sob, and yell
I still couldn’t tell
The burden I carry
Being melanin heavy
From the first entry in my land
We lent a haleping hand
Teaching you the ways of time and space
Agriculture to Zoology
You we embraced
But your spirit dimmed
And pride grew
And little understanding came from you
So now you got half the story
And all the weapons
An infant in need of a lesson
A child in this cosmic life
Who has done childish things
That brings grief to my heart
When I stop and think
That you really, truly believe
That your finite time on Mother Earth
The place of this birth
Is meant to be spent
Paying rent
Manifesting your destiny
Through money, oppression, and destruction
Raping the continent of it’s people and it’s resources
To waste
And the only trace
You leave is your giant carbon footprint
I want to be more
I want to be more than a carbon footprint when I die
I want to do more than say I tried
I want to excel and succeed
I want to give the people what they need
I want to be more than a carbon footprint
That lead to the Earth’s demise
I want to be one of the wise
