Justice Smith - Ezekiel Poem lyrics

The Get Down: Ezekiel's Poem Boom, then crash / The shattering of gla** / I dive to the floor / Busted my a** / What the hell was that? Was all that I said Then I seen the pool of blood Then I see my moms was dead No emotion in the commotion I wasn't even sad Even when I learned the bullet was meant for my dad Vietnam made pops crazy He was already half dead So Why couldn't it had him that they shot in the head? All the news that fits the print Momma's d**h went unreported, not a whiff, word, or hint They don't care about us n***a is how my pops explained But i didn't know I was a n***a until my dad proclaimed it Six months later my pops was dead too Drug related shots fired His skin turned cold blue On the news that night the president got a new hairdo The news guy said I like it, how about you? No word about the post runs, CBS What was that you ask? Take a f**ing guess And yeah why is that? Is what politicians should be asking But who's got time for questions When your skiing up in Aspen Broads get gun shots to the head And all yall swerving us as hasbeens My momma was so lovely she would make your head spin Leveling the playing field and y'all see who really win And yeah I got anger But i don't let it take me down Cause my momma taught me better And she holds me up when I fall down Rest in Peace Ma Don't worry about your son Someday i'll make you proud Because yeah I am the one Zeke
