Kaylalude/point Of View Lyrics - Jaysetto

[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.

[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 

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 

[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 

[JaySetto and Shay Jones]

[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
