TRANSCRIÇÃO 🔗
Jay: I don't move for applause, I move purpose through the mix. Why is like this? Turn my pain in the power. Put my name on the ridge. Why is like this? They gon' feel me in the soul from the baseline here. Why is like this? I was born with a vision. I'ma die with a gift. On this august twelfth, twenty twenty six, which is my birthday, test your own morality as you look at the world. Do you see a man or a black man? Do you have sympathy for anyone that's hurting or only for those that are of similar ethnicity? Do you have empathy for those of similar likeness but become apathetic when they're not? And ultimately, is right or wrong the defining factor in In your decision making or do you make decisions with double standards? What comes out as racist, hateful, and discriminatory is a reflection of a person's character and heart. Also, we have to stop fighting fire with fire from both sides. As an African American and most importantly a Christian who believes in forgiveness, I don't believe in the approach of constantly talking about What other people have done to us? Has that truly helped to bridge the gap between us? Consider this. If someone is intent on hating or disliking you for whatever reason, do you really think that constantly telling that person that he or she doesn't like you and asking them why will change the way that person feels about you? Would that actually change their heart? or their minds in regards to their opinion about you or other people. Moreover, racists and bigots probably won't be moved by a Black Lives Matter demonstration and change their ways, especially if they already lack love and respect for all people. Continuing to complain and protest to people about our struggles that don't care or refuse to change is a waste of time to me. The better approach is to unite with people of similar values and work towards a common goal. Ultimately, we should depend on God first and foremost to supply our individual needs. Let's listen to some words of wisdom from King Tichala AKA Chadwick Bozeman. Continue to fly in heaven. Rest in peace, brother. Well love. Remember the struggles along the way are only meant to shape you for your purpose. When I dare to challenge the system that would relegate us to victims and stereotypes with no clear historical backgrounds, no hopes of talents, when I question that method of portrayal, a different path opened up for me. The path to my destiny. When God has something for you, it doesn't matter who stands against it. God will move someone that's holding you back away from a door and put someone there who will open it for you. If it's meant for you I don't know what your future is, but if you're willing to take the harder way, the more complicated one, the one with more failures at first than successes, the one that has ultimately proven to have more meaning, more victory, more glory, then you will not regret it. Now, this is your time. Yeah. I had to flip up the script, run up through this, bet on the gift They want the sound, but don't want the shit. They want the crown, but don't want the cliff. I had to flip up the script, run up through this, bet on the gift They saw the glow, but missed the grit. They want the story, but can't hold the weight of it.
