Brii Alexandria - Gen Z Epiphany Lyrics

Yo
It's like still the 21st century and America is still in a riot
We got police brutality all over the place and gun violence
Instead of lynching and throwing us into Mississippi rivers like Emmett Till
We are being shot down by our own law enforcement
We are being labeled mentally ill
And it runs deep in my head like aye yo
Why y'all looking at me like I'm a suspect or something like I'm guilty but
They don't hear me though
They don't hear me though

Now closely listen to the premonition
Of a two-way street collision with a Messianic vision
No division
Call it fission
On the day precise met precision
The criminal justice system got a whole lot of criticism
But we losing kids in the streets to open shotguns
Cop guns, make ya wanna run, ain't no fun
The cognition premature
Cause I had seen the son
The knowledge was all galore
The power of three in one
Please tell me how we lost the answer for cancer, H.I.V, AIDS
Somebody bring paid to dig the shallow graves of a generation from homicide
Can you spell genocide and watch the words collide

They sentence you to death as soon as they see you
You know
Walking down the street
Six counts of being black while walking down the street
One bullet for every count
Put your hands up
Now you're gunned down
And now you're momma's crying cause the man who shot her baby is home free wearing his badge
Mike Brown
Another body laying cold in the gutter
Mike Brown could've easily been my big brother
And they ask why you so angry
Got that angry black woman syndrome huh

The global economy is on a slippery slope
There's no hope
But they getting mad when kids is slinging dope
To feed their family
They become the anomaly
From the drama scene of a narrative, it's imperative
To the storyline
Right now they just blind
Reading eulogies like it's storytime
It's a crime from the mind
To see this as a paradigm
Gotta shift the thinking of a generation
Who just need some saving and some praying and some demon-slaying I'm just saying
It's a new era goodbye to the night terrors
A sunny day welcome to the new endeavors
My sense isn't common
Guess I'm the nominator
Seeing under the surface
Just to rock the equator

I'm not angry
I'm passionate
I'm not crazy
I'm determined
I'm not even a statistic bro
I'm actually a human
So start treating me like one
Why do you protest
You take things to the extreme
Why you gotta be so loud
Why you gotta be so hostile
Why you gotta be so mean
Man Dr.Martin Luther King Jr himself said
A riot is the language of the unheard
This is for the kingdom and the culture
We need an epiphany
