I like Me

Yo, I say justice is a journey

And you was not prepared

If you scared to wake up early or stay hungry

Your dinner work is your inner work

You've been a jerk

None of your organizing finna work

Personal was Political

A revolution start at home

Your first protest should be your own

Maybe major innovations

First call and appraiser

And your eyes I could spot you got termites and dry rot

Why you not in therapy?

Why you ain't called no experts?

Why you let your pride convince you DIY with less work

You ain't got the tools fool

Time to go to school fool

I ain't talking Western ones

I'm speaking about celestial ones

Excavate your inner state

The endless block the inner state

Inside your head

That's the one place you can't escape

You need you fully present and process deep scars

Cause culture can only be as healed as we are

As we are

As we are

Yeah

I think I like me, finally

I think I like me, finally

I think I like me, finally

I think I like me, finally

Yo, check this out

Though painful and initially without purpose, the pain of being excluded and disposable by society taught me that society is just a representation of our fractured selves

Transformative Justice is about awakening to the fracture, within ourselves and within each other, inorder to heal

Because

The Personal is Political and The Revolution Truly Begins at Home
