What I See

[Verse: Kinetik] I can see a single mother walking up a hill with shopping bags Struggling as if her legs are gonna give out But still she has to make it up the hill and make it home Cause if she don't there'll be no food in her kid's mouth I see a father crying over his first born Not cause he was born but because he met an early death Brutally murdered and no he wasn't perfect But he was Black so the police say he deserved it I see a little girl looking like a princess And everywhere she goes she's the object of interest Beautiful but hidden deep beneath is sadness She thinks her skin is too dark and makes her unattractive I see a little boy staring out his window Wishing for the depiction of the man that he should call his Daddy And sadly some'll fill the role but his joy ends Every time Mummy goes and gets another boyfriend I see a soldier coming home from war Happy to be alive cause life he thought it would end In a year he was homeless with no job Feeling abandoned by the country that he fought to defend Then I see a nurse getting ready for work But on this particular morning she was mourning Cause her religion is important So she's torn from not wanting to perform an abortion I see a footballer training in the gym After being on the bench for a year But in his first game back he felt a snap in his femur So now he's thinking it means the end of his career I see an executive sat up in her office After losing her profits and everything she wished for Stressed depressed cause life was a mess Then she jumped from the 25th floor And that's what I see
