What rhymes with the world?
What rhymes with the country?
The country is where I’m from
The country is full of the old and young
Young people need to grow
Young things die very quick
Quick sands consume our lives
Quick rhymes fills my soul
Soul full of passion
Soul food in my gut
Gut rhymes with mutt
Gut also rhymes with but
But I can’t seem to fathom
But I don’t know what to say
Say about my culture
Say how I really feel
Feel about a time like now
Feel about existing on forever
Forever I’m decked in saddness
Forever I feel shallow
Shallow that I don’t belong
Shallow that I’m fake
Fake enough to call myself naturalized
Fake enough to devour myself into pure lies
Lies that falls beyond a mirror
Lies that travel further than life
Life needs hope
Life could’ve be kind
Kind behavior never exist honestly
Kind people can’t always protect you
You lead your own path
You can separate from the demons
Demons will take away your sleep
Demons will make you sweep
Sweep until you can no longer
Sweep seas and yell to me
Me neh wah struggle
Me neh wah fight
Fight dem people to show who is right
Fight dem to be who I am
Am I a pariah?
Am I free?
Free to whatever I want
Free to be
Be a proud being
Be not an alien
Aliens are what scares people away
Aliens are not real people
Away with the truth
Facade people.
