I JUST WANT TO BE BRAVE

 

You could not have promised us so much glory,

And then turned every scene we see gory!

You could have told Jimoh that you'll end his life;

Maybe then he'd have fought so hard to avoid this strife.

I could have sworn you promised to maintain my safety,

But I fear you'll either kill me or drive me to insanity.

You never gave me a chance to watch Kazeem play

Before you thought it'd be wise to kill him without delay!

Tina's Mama did not raise her to end in a body bag,

But then you fired bullets and killed her like a bloody hag.

I've been silent for so long so you take me for a fool;

Now I speak out and you're gonna kill me too?

The blood of everyone else you killed cry out to me from the grave;

And for the first time in my life, I just want to be brave.
