Kaylalude/Point Of View

[JaySetto]:
And now a word from our sponsor...

[Kaylalude]:
[K.D.S.]:
Three strikes
Three strikes against me
I am a woman
I am a black woman
And I am a black woman
And I am a black woman, with my third eye open
As much as my peers watch the news they can't see the main focus
Our brothers and sisters's names are being engraved into tombs at an early age
Hatred and ignorance are the bullets that take their souls away
Trapped in this pain as a youthful intellectual nubian female
I fear this is soon my fate
I look in my baby brother and I realize he will soon understand our oppressive ways
My graduation cap is their target because they are terrorized by the knowledge in my brain
They want to taint me
And institutionalize me
In the hood where they have their eyes on me at all times
But oh prison guard I am free
I will not run from you cross your Mason Dixon to claim my independency
And my prominent features aren't anything funny
You have no reason to laugh at me when my people are the reason your country is standing
I'm not asking to be a friend
But understand I am not a foe
Even though I should be angered with the force you used to drag my ancestors into your slaveboats
Don't call my auntie negro
We ain't your property, and we've had enough with this ignorance you've grown
My children will not grow cold souls
Because our melanin shows
And our hair doesn't flow
But defines nubian's theory of gravity
But instead of admiring the magic
You belittle us and call us nappy
But once you see the self love rising
You call it a trend and name it yours gladly
Don't insult my intelligence and marken my culture
You think I'm finished with ya'll but this revolution is far from over.

[Point of View]:
Jr:
Tryna find a solution
We need a resolution
Jres Js
Don't even know what to talk about
Everytime I speak it's like the world wants to block us out
Another day another shooting
Scream for help but they're refusing
Seems like all hope is gone for now
Yeah
Another dead filled with lead
Blood upon his head
Don't shoot
What we said
Yet it happens again
One day I'm dope I'm feeling a bunch of hope
And all a sudden reality slams again are we ever gonna win.

[Verse 1]:
[Nana Marie]:
I was counting on you to provide me with a safety net did you forget
You never taught me in school
That I was under arrest without pretense
Should I be afraid to walk around
Should I have to hold my head down
Listen carefully
You were just like me

[Chorus]:
[JaySetto and Shay Jones]

Looking at the overview can we make something different creating something new
This is our point of view
We need our opinion too
Open up our third eyes
Brothas and sistas it's time
To show our Point of View

[Verse 2]:
[JaySetto]:
We're not protected yet disrespected by the people who hate on us
Cause of our color
Why can't we discover
That we're not here to fuss
Why can't I walk down that street without someone confronting me
Cause of my apparent actions
What's the possibility?

[Nana Marie]:
I don't wanna be disrespectful
But I won't be as regretful
As I would be if I left the door open
And I left these words unspoken
To see me on the Tv screen
On the floor
Can't breathe
Calling me gasping for release
And I don't know why they try me
But the news thinks they can buy me

[JResonance]:
But we should be finding pride
We shouldn't be lacking pride
We're lucky that we survived
We reinvented our lives
We evented a time
People blended their lives
To come together to rise
Why are we scared to die
We shouldn't be scared to die
We should be vibing with pride
Had the strength to survive
And reinvent our lives
Now we're living a time races could intertwine
To come together to rise
Let's continue our lives for standing up for what's life.

[Chorus]:
[JaySetto and Shay Jones]
Looking at the overview can we make something different creating something new

Open up our third eyes
Brothas and sistas it's time
To show our Point of View

[Shay Jones]:
Gotta open up my third eye
Time is wasting
Heart is breaking
Everyday people die
Need some contemplating
But we're fading
My brothers and sisters have to see
All this police brutality
Gotta keep my head up high
To the sky
Cause I won't let them get the best of me

Chorus

[K.D.S.]

Brothas how y'all doin?
Sistas y'all alright
It's time to come together
To express our creative minds
Let our freedom breathe
Our messages be heard
By any means necessary...

[jResonance]:
To stop the mess and all the oppression
We gotta send the world the message
Yow
