Lethal

I may seem peaceful
But my mind is lethal
I speak for the people
Those labeled unequal

I may seem contained
I am
It's all in my brain
If you give me fuel
I will light the way
This is futile
They won't be led astray

As long as I have
a breath in me
I will not go peacefully

I have been beaten
bludgeoned
So many time I felt defeated
but I am still
I am still breathing
You better believe it

No matter how much
how much I endure
I always come back
 come back for more

Don't get it twisted
open your ears and listen
I may not seem affected
Deep down I feel disrespected

I may seem peaceful
but my mind. My mind is lethal
I speak for all people
weak from your deceit and evil
