Pain

(inspired by & dedicated to samantha barrow & maleka fruean)


I said today... I don't mind my pain
I said today... I don't mind my pain
I said today... I don't mind my pain
because it feeds me.

See these beats
are like Celie's free hands
smoothing, moving
old rhythms & blues
into hues of new Expression...

I said today... I don't mind my pain (x3)
because it feeds me.

I'm manifestin'-
transcendin' transgression
sparkin' new connections...
my disdain for pain
melts, w/ the rain...

I said today... I don't mind my pain (x3)
because it feeds me.

my frame of reference
defers its deference
about the American indifference
to global affairs...

I said today... I don't mind my pain (x3)
because it feeds me.

my Awareness
burns holes of knowing
into my Soul
cajoling Action
from a larger faction...
that only sees a fraction
of what's really happenin' Here...

so you See, today...
I don't mind my pain
I said today... I don't mind my pain
I said today... I don't mind my pain
because it FREEEEEEEEEES me.
