To Be Heard Gian Dakari Connor
I spent time thinkin’ ‘bout rhymes
That would open your mind
So this word play
Lets you know how I feel everyday
So you can say your understand the man that I am
I am a man of fire
That fire is desire
A desire to be heard
My words may be obscure
But what I feel is surreal
And the seal that this feel has on me is too strong to break free
Its scary to be what people expect of me
Like being defined by ethnicity
Society is a seal on my creativity
Telling me what I’m supposed to be and it drives me insane
Like a restraint on my heart
I don’t know where this pain ends or starts
But I know it hurts
