I'm writing you from a rooftop
in the ghetto
my brother/sister
it's time to let go
holding on to tight
is what's making you choke
you got your own hand
wrapped around your throat
you think it's the mans hand?
the man can't make you do handstands
if you don't put trust in man
now, understand
your eyes must be open
to see what is happening
write it on a napkin
wrap it around your wrist
you need to know what time it is
climate will fool you
crawling will school you
climbing can school you
if you fall it teaches you
how to, crawl back onto your feet again
it is through persistence
that we win
we don't need, mans permission
to breathe
again
