“kings”

i come from a land of diamonds, but they don’t see the diamonds in me

love the depth of my soul’s sounds, but i’m not the one they come to see

the source of the resources lack, but refuse to make it rain

mock the suffering, but don’t understand my pain

i want to reclaim, i plan to rewrite history

i accept that my people aren’t where i know we should be

where the world has made up their minds, i’ll challenge the status quo

i’ll put on the frontline the beauty, and bring the diamonds back home

they’ll call me king and dress me in gold

they’ll dress me in satin and peridot lined rose

cinched in tight, perfect jewel for the role

they’ll play my songs when its time for war, love and growth
